In the Old Testament, the hero of the Book of Daniel received God’s promise of freedom from Babylonian captivity and experienced spectacular visions of the Father, heaven, and the Son of Man (Jesus). Later, the Disciples Peter, James, and John witnessed the Transfiguration of the Lord, giving them a glimpse of Jesus in His heavenly glory. Scripture also depicts Jesus’ humanity. When a Canaanite woman begged Jesus to cure her daughter, the Lord mimicked others’ wronghearted belief that helping her would seem like throwing food meant for children (the Israelites) to the dogs (Gentiles). Peter recognized Jesus as the Christ but did not want to hear about His impending suffering and death. When good works we might do seem unlikely to count for much, do we take into account God’s ability to bless and multiply whatever we offer?
