“Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
When Jesus first came into this world the world changed dramatically. Even as a baby he was sought after. King Herod, the king of Judaea had innocent children of Bethlehem slaughtered in an attempt to the kill the infant Jesus. Herod feared that Jesus would eventually seize his kingdom. Jesus was sent into this world to be the light in the devil’s dark world of evil. He was sent to provide salvation to those enslaved to the sin of this world. The things that Jesus stood for, while on this earth, has not changed in today’s world.
Jesus was a disruptive force in the mind of all evil. Jesus remains a disruptive force in the beliefs and faith of all born again Christians. When you and I accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we accepted the true meaning of what the Cross of Jesus stands for. We are the light of the world as we take on the characteristics of our Lord and Savior. We accept and believe that his death on the cross provides salvation, healing and forgiveness. As we spread the Word of God and live by listening to the Holy Spirit, we too become a disruptive force in the face of the devil. He will fight us and do all that he can to defeat our purpose and bring down our faith and all of our beliefs in Jesus. However, we have overcome the world through our faith in Jesus. As we continue to grow and love God our resistance to evil will increase. We must stay the course and not allow the evil of the world to dictate our direction, our faith or our strength. We must stay in constant communication with our God in heaven with prayer through our Lord Jesus. We must continue to study his word and live our lives in accordance with his will. We must stay focused on Jesus and no other. We must not be deterred in the mission our God in heaven has given us. Remember, we are born through the death of Jesus on the cross and the cross brings disruption to this world of evil. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
