The Pilgrim Path (12—23—24)

The Pilgrim Path---Genesis 3: 15

“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

HE SHALL BRUISE YOUR HEAD…

The seed of the woman was promised long ago. The son of Mary, Jesus---is---The Living Christ. He devastates the work of the devil. I’ve been asked many times, “Why would God decree to permit the fall?” One answer: to display the purity and power of The Holy Son. Jesus defeats sin and provides eternal life to his own. Amazing: He loves moral rebels like us!

We may be tempted at times to think that Satan is just too much for The Son. We may fear that Satan’s dominion in this world is permanent. That is false. Satan’s kingdom will be eliminated. The ultimate Merry Christmas: Christ’s supremacy will be everlasting--- An eventual reign of righteousness!

From John Owen: He suffered NOT as God, but he suffered who was God.

From J. I. Packer: The impression of Jesus which the Gospels give…is not so much one of deity reduced as of divine capacities restrained.
