Daily Lesson for Monday 10th of March 2025
At every turn, Christ’s work undoes the work of the devil. And, according to 1 John 3:8, Jesus “was revealed for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8, NRSV) and to “destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14, NRSV). Yet, the total defeat of the enemy’s rulership takes place in two stages. First, through the work of the Cross, Christ disproves Satan’s slanderous allegations. And, later, Satan and his kingdom will be destroyed.

As we have seen, the enemy claims that God is not fully righteous and loving. However, in Christ, God provides the ultimate manifestation of God’s righteousness and love, and He did so through the Cross.
After the death of Jesus, “Satan saw that his disguise was torn away. His administration was laid open before the unfallen angels and before the heavenly universe. He had revealed himself as a murderer. By shedding the blood of the Son of God, he had uprooted himself from the sympathies of the heavenly beings.”—Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 761.
The history of redemption provides abundant evidence for us to be confident that God always works to bring about in the end what is good for all concerned. The God of Scripture always does what is good and preferable, given the avenues available to Him in the great controversy (Deuteronomy 32:4, 1 Samuel 3:18, Psalms 145:17, Daniel 4:37, Habakkuk 1:13, Revelation 15:3, Genesis 18:25).

Why is the demonstration of God’s righteousness and love in the cosmic conflict so important? When you reflect on the Cross and all of God’s works in the plan of redemption, how do God’s works give you confidence in the love of God, even amid trials and sufferings? |

Almost every time an article in Adventist Today mentions some matter that politicians discuss, we get angry responses. It doesn’t matter if it is behavior addressed directly in the Bible. It could even be something Jesus himself talks about. If a politician has an opinion on it, we are criticized for mentioning it. Yet biblical ethics and […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-like-it-or-not-we-cant-avoid-politics/
