Spurgeon & the Book of Daniel

I’m reading through the Book of Daniel at this time. I have enjoyed reading in the Spurgeon Study Bible which is a CSB ( Christian Standard Bible). The following are some verses with quotes by Spurgeon:

Dan.3.14
Nebuchadnezzar asked them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you don’t serve my gods or worship the gold statue I have set up?
Spurgeon on Dan.3.14
“If we mean to be a Christian, and therefore intend to cast off the bondage of this present evil world, our resolve must be taken to bear all consequences rather than worship the idol of the hour.”

Dan.3.25
He exclaimed, “Look! I see four men, not tied, walking around in the fire unharmed; and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”
Spurgeon on Dan.3.25
“We must go into the furnace if we would have the nearest and dearest dealings with Christ Jesus.”

Dan.6.10
When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house. The windows in its upstairs room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
Spurgeon on Dan.6.10
“When we know our duty, first thoughts are the best; if the thing is abosolutely right, never think about it a second time, but straightaway go and do it.”

Great, challenging insights from the Prince of Preachers.
