Daniel 1:1-21 - The wisdom of God is a universal good. Even though Daniel and his companions are captured and lowly servants, the king does not ignore their wisdom. The wisdom is a gift of God and so too was the king.
Matthew 28:1-20 - The women depart from the tomb with fear and great joy. How is it possible for these reactions to occur at the same time? Luther repeats often in his small catechism that we are to "fear and love God." We might see the juxtaposition of fear and joy/love as a contradiction, but how might they be necessary companions?
