“And I
will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;
it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel”
(Genesis
3:15).
Today’s Morsel: When Adam and Eve
sinned in the garden by disobeying God and they ate of the forbidden
fruit, the serpent is punished more severely for being the culprit. He is
cast to the ground and made to eat dust. To eat dust is a sign of defeat.
God told the serpent that there would be a seed of a woman that would come and
bruise his head. Now the parable is this, Jesus said the seed is the word
of God (Luke 8:11). John wrote, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:1,14). The
one that would come to bruise Satan’s head would be Jesus Christ Himself, God
manifested in flesh. Satan is defeated through the birth of Jesus
Christ.
Sing: We have heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves! Jesus
saves! Spread the tidings all around: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land, climb the steeps and cross the waves.
Onward! ‘Tis our Lord’s command; Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Thought For Today: You can always
smash Satan’s head with the word (Parker)
