We
thank You, Lord, for Jesus Christ – ” a Banner for the nations”, “the
Saviour of the world” (Isaiah 11:12′ John 4:42). We thank You that He
has “died for the sins of the whole world.” This is “Good News” for “all
the world.” It’s a call to receive the “forgiveness of sins.” It’s a
call to become His “disciples” (1 John 2:2; Mark 16:15; Luke 24;27;
Matthew 28:19). As we look to Jesus, our Saviour, may our personal faith
– “I will praise You, O Lord … God is my Salvation … The Lord is my
Strength and my Song …” – become our public testimony – making Christ
“known among the nations,” telling “all the world! what the Lord has
done for us (Isaiah 12:1-2,4-5).
We thank You, Lord, that our determined enemy - Satan - is Your defeated enemy. To us, the devil seems so powerful. In Your eyes, He is defeated - defeated by Jesus, our crucified Saviour and risen Lord. Jesus has triumphed over Satan. He has won the victory for us (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14-15). Lord, Your Word says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 5:7). Will he really flee from us? He flees from Jesus - but, surely, not from us? Have we not forgotten something? - Jesus won the victory for us. He gives His victory to us. Help us to resist the devil - in the victorious Name of Jesus. He will flee from us. Why? Because Jesus is Lord over Satan. It's not us he's fleeing from. It's Jesus. When the devil comes 'knocking on our door', help us to send Jesus to the door - and send him packing!
