The Promised Warrior (Isaiah 42:13)

The Son of God Goes Forth to War

Ash Wednesday, February 26, 2020

The Lenten season is traditionally a time for us to think about our lives, to take on a fresh zeal toward repentance, toward sorrow over our sin, and to prepare for Holy Week.

The sin inside still plagues us. We are very aware that there are forces bigger than us that are at work underneath everything—-forces that would pull us down, pull us down to hell.

We need somebody who is real and bigger to fight for us.

This is a battle for our lives now and for eternity. Very real enemies are lined up against us. Some we can see, and many we cannot.

We can rejoice today that God promised a warrior to battle our enemies for us and to give us the victory over sin and death and hell. And we rejoice today that God always keeps his promises.
