Jesus stands with us when we stand for him.

In today’s lesson, we’re going to learn another story that involved King Nebuchadnezzer. Remember, our last lesson taught us that King Neb had an issue with pride and God had to humble him. In this story, God showed the king his great power by rescuing 3 guys- Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from a terrible situation. King Neb created a huge golden statue and wanted everyone to bow down and worship it. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to do that because they worshipped the real God. When King Neb found out that they refused to obey his commands, he was furious. When the three guys were brought before King Neb to get their punishment, they told King Neb that no matter what punishment he gave them, their God would protect them! King Neb threw them into a fiery furnace that was so hot there was no way anyone could survive it. Well, the three did survive! God protected them and when they were taken out of the furnace, not even one hair on their head was burned! King Neb was amazed and realized that their God was the only God worth worshipping! We need to be brave like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and stand up for Jesus, too!
