Bro. John:
This is so very good. I love how you dissected Satan and showed how wrong he was about Jesus. Who knows these things?! God is feeding us manna from heaven with the wisdom we are getting in the writing of the Father and Son. I want to cherish every word and love it as He does. It shows us even more how much God loves His Son.
It brought tears to my eyes to read the last line: “The suffering came first, and the glory, Jesus received after his resurrection. Satan was wrong about everything.”
And the whole world is wrong without the Spirit guiding. I remember when the Spirit spoke this to me: “When you think, you weaken the Spirit.” While reading “Who is Lucifer” this morning, it dawned on me why this is so true. The Spirit is the Life of God. It requires no thinking – God just IS! And His Son IS who he is. Satan must have done a lot of thinking to think he was going to change who God is or who His Son is. “. . . . O, Lucifer . . . . How you are cut down to the earth, O weakener of the nations!”
The contrast that you bring out about the “Light-bringer” and the light (holy Spirit) which the Son brought, and also what Satan thought and what his ministers portray was so good. Who knows these things?!
Well, needless to say, I was blessed reading this. We are so loved and cared for by our Savior. Sometimes I don’t even know how to respond to such sweet riches. I suppose the best way is to love it and live it, and stay thankful to be a child of God in the truth.
