LIVING IN EXILE: DANIEL
Life at the End
Daniel 12
There is life at the end, so live faithfully in exile now.
The book of Daniel ends by talking about the end: what happens at the end of human history. We find that death isn't the end, for us or our world. There is a resurrection and a future for every human being, all based on what you do with Jesus Christ. This changes how we live today, as we orient our lives around a future much longer than the lives we live on earth.

Application Questions
- How often do you think about what happens after you die? What are those thoughts like?
- How does the future described in Daniel 12 compare to the way you think about eternity?
- What might it look like for you to "go your way" knowing that you have an eternal place with God?
