Under the Microscope (1 of 12)
Series: Character: Mirror Image
James Merritt
Daniel 6:1-16
Introduction
1. We probably don't remember when it happened, but when it did happen we were absolutely fascinated by it. It was the time that we first saw ourselves in a mirror. We were startled, we were shocked, and we were confused. ''Who is this person looking back at me?'' Then what made the mirror really fascinating was when it finally dawned on us, ''I'm looking at me! This is what I look like!''
2. The mirror becomes increasingly important in your life, whether we are about to go to school, about to go to work, or about to go on a date, or about to get married. The one thing we make sure we do before we leave the house is we look in the mirror. The reason is the mirror never lies. The mirror shows you what you look like when you have makeup on and when you don't, when you are clean-shaven and you are not, when every hair is in place, or every hair is all over the place, or you don't have any hair to put in place!

We are talking about what you see spiritually, and morally, and ethically when you look in a mirror. We are going to be talking about the most important thing about all of us and that is our character.
4. What do you see when you look in the mirror? I don't mean what do you see on the outside, but if your mirror were to reflect what you are in the inside, what would you see or more importantly what should you see?
5. We are living in a day where people are far more concerned about their reputation than they are about their character and the latter is not always a true reflection of the former. Your reputation is what people think you are when they see you through a window. Character is what you know you are when you see yourself in th ...
