    The Christadelphians #16 Jesus and the Devil

    **[Inspiring]** We are absolutely thrilled to share this outstanding and thought-provoking exposition on one of the most pivotal and revealing subjects in all of Scripture: the true nature of the Devil and Satan. As Christadelphians, we are committed to a careful, verse-by-verse examination of God's Word, and this chapter—Chapter 16 from our series on what we believe and preach—offers a wonderfully insightful look at a topic that is so often misunderstood. This presentation is a wonderful journey through the New Testament, guided by the original Greek and Hebrew, to uncover the real meaning behind the words *diabolos* and *Satan*. We explore the profound and often-overlooked truth that the Old Testament is completely silent on a personal, supernatural devil, and that the emphasis of the New Testament points us to a powerful, revelatory conclusion: the devil is the personification of human sinfulness, the lusts of the flesh, and the corporate wickedness of the world. Join us as we trace this compelling thread through Scripture, from the temptation in the wilderness to the ultimate victory of Christ. We examine how Jesus, by partaking of flesh and blood, destroyed him that had the power of death—that is, the devil—and how His sinless life broke the power of sin and opened the way to salvation. This is a truly inspiring and clarifying study that will strengthen your understanding of the Gospel and the nature of the battle we all face. --- ### 📖 Chapters - 00:00 - Introduction: The Importance of the Subject - 01:01 - Understanding the Greek Words: Diabolos, Satan, and More - 05:04 - The Old Testament's Silence on a Supernatural Devil - 10:53 - The New Testament's Emphasis: Jesus and the Devil - 14:13 - The Temptation of Christ and the Nature of the Conflict - 16:06 - The Source of Temptation: The Flesh and its Lusts - 18:45 - The Works of the Flesh and the Works of the Devil - 20:44 - The Connection Between Flesh, Sin, Death, and the Devil - 21:24 - Christ's Victory Over Sin and the Devil - 24:09 - How the Devil Has the Power of Death - 25:35 - The Unbreakable Link: Lust, Flesh, Devil, Sin, and Death - 28:22 - The Devil as the Sinfulness of Man - 29:14 - Wider Meanings of Satan: Adversary and Accuser - 33:20 - The Revelation of the Dragon and the Serpent - 34:07 - Answering the Questions: Why No Supernatural Satan? - 36:53 - The Nature of Angels and the Final Destruction of the Devil - 38:20 - Satan as the Sum Total of Mortality and Wickedness - 41:24 - Examining Key Passages: Ephesians 2 and the Prince of the Power of the Air - 46:27 - The Prince of This World Cast Out: Christ's Ultimate Triumph - 47:34 - The Gospel's Power to Turn From Satan to God - 50:47 - Conclusion and Final Encouragemen - 📖 **John 6:70** — - 📖 **Hebrews 2:14-15** — - 📖 **Romans 7:17-25** — - 📖 **Galatians 5:17-21** — - 📖 **1 John 2:16-17** — - 📖 **1 John 3:8** — - 📖 **James 1:13-15** — - 📖 **Romans 5:12** — - 📖 **John 8:44** — - 📖 **Revelation 20:10** — Christadelphian, Bible Study, What is the Devil, Satan in the Bible, Jesus and Satan, Temptation of Christ, Sin and Death, Human Nature, Bible Truth, Scriptural Exposition, Bible Teaching, Faith, Salvation, Gospel of Christ, Bible Prophecy, Overcoming Sin, Christ's Victory, Bible Questions Answered, Biblical Hermeneutics, Old Testament, New Testament We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

    Inspiring Bible Character Studies #5 Why did Achsah a Field? with Bible student Roger Lewis

    A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Summary/Description**In this thought-provoking and wonderfully expositional study, Bible student Roger Lewis joins us to uncover the remarkable account of Achsah – Caleb’s daughter. Why did she ask for a field? And what does her bold faith reveal about our own spiritual journey? Set against the backdrop of Judges chapter 1 – a chapter defined by Israel’s failure to drive out the Canaanites – Achsah shines as an outstanding example of wholehearted devotion. Through careful, verse‑by‑verse analysis, we discover how Caleb’s test for a suitor, Othniel’s victory, and Achsah’s determined request for “upper and nether springs” point to profound lessons about our promised inheritance. This is an insightful and revealing study that will challenge and inspire you to seek God’s blessings with the same fearless, solution‑focused spirit.**Chapters**00:00 – Introduction & Setting the Context 04:00 – Why Ask Questions?

    Thought for July 12th. “SO IT WILL BE AT THE CLOSE OF THE AGE”

    Today’s 13th chapter of Matthew contains 6 parables of Jesus and at the end of the last one our Lord says, “so it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace.  In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” [v.49,50] The parables are symbolic stories, thus the “fiery furnace” is a symbol of the end of existence for some.   We must face the fact that, in the end, as God sees humans, the highest form of his creation, there are really only two classes of people!   Did you note in yesterday’s chapter that Jesus said, “Whoever is not with me is against me.” [v.30] Each of the parables in their own way teach the same lesson – that a choice is put before all men and women and “at the close of the age” there will be a time when God will make a decision about the future of everyone. The best known parable is that of the sower sowing seed and the different types of soil (i.e. hearts) into which it (his message) fell and how that seed grew – or didn’t!  Another parable is of the wheat and weeds growing together and no action is made to pull out the weeds until harvest time.   It is becoming more and more evident that God’s harvest time is near – although, of course, it comes for everyone when they die!  The harvest time, said Jesus, in explaining the meaning of the parable, is the time when “The son of man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace.  In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  He who has ears, let him hear.” [v.41-43]  ! In these days we could add to that saying – those who have eyes to read let them read – and having read – may they, as a result, live their lives in ways that will please the sower. Are you hearing what you read?

    July 11th. “I AM WATCHING OVER MY WORD”

    Today we started reading the words of Jeremiah, who was born as “one of the priests” [v.1]. We are fascinated by the many words from the LORD that he inspired Jeremiah to speak and write.  He was to be the mouthpiece of God to Israel over many years beginning in the reign of good king Josiah, to the disaster of the last king Zedekiah.     “The LORD came to me”  Jeremiah says, telling him, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” [v.5]  Jeremiah protests, “Ah Lord GOD!  Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” [v.6]  The LORD tells him not to say this, “… whatever I command you, you shall speak, Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you” [v.7,8] “Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth.  And the LORD said to me, ‘Behold I have put my words in your mouth. “ [v.9]  It is clear in the words that follow that his divinely inspired messages have applications in many cases to situations developing in Israel in the prophet’s lifetime – and others – to the future of other nations – and also – to events to come in the latter day restoration of Israel, our days; these, as we will see in future chapters, really challenge our thinking.   Jeremiah is a type of Christ from his birth and the later traumas his life went through before and at  the destruction of Jerusalem.  As the inspired mouthpiece of God’s word, he is told, “See I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and break down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant … I am watching over my word to perform it.” [v.10,12]  As we read God’s word let us search to see how  it has been performed – and will yet be completely performed – the climax of its fulfilment will surely be the most dramatic of all. How close are we to that time?  May we ‘hear’ the LORD saying to us, as he says to Jeremiah (as the chapter ends) “Be not dismayed … for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you.” [v.17,19]

    Thought for July 10th. “TO WHOM THE SON CHOOSES TO …”

    What a thought challenging chapter we have today in Matthew. When Jesus asked, “To what shall I compare this generation?” 11 v.16] we can see in his answer close comparisons to most people living today. Jesus said they were “like children sitting in the market places calling to their playmates, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.” There is constant “calling” to one another these days via Facebook, Twitter, etc reporting and commenting on this and that, but so very little, indeed rarely anything of substance. Nearly all dismiss any appreciation of Christmas and Easter! Good Friday is supposed to be a remembrance of the Saviour’s death – but do any ‘mourn.’? Jesus said, “Everyone to whom much was given much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.” [Luke 12 v.48] Conversely, to whom little is given, much less is expected so we need to see the point in Jesus’ comment in today’s chapter in v.23, that “if the mighty works done (by me) had been done in Sodom it would have remained until this day. But I tell you it will be more tolerable in the day of judgement for the land of Sodom than for you.” When God’s word was first widely preached and again when it was first printed and widely circulated it had such an impact – it created a great reformation in human thinking and belief. So many acted and lived according to their new found beliefs and convictions of heart. Yes, ‘too whom much is given’! Many responded as they should. The climax in today’s chapter is in words, which we see as a prayer of Jesus, “I thank you, Father; Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from (those who think they are) the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children … no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden … ” [v.25-27] How many who are “heavy laden” in our world look to Jesus to help them journey through the kind of life that now exists? Jesus knows! What kind of person does Jesus choose “to reveal” the Father to – and make known the real meaning of their life? Is it those who sit “in the market place calling … “? Can they be classified as “little children” whom Jesus seeks to have a relationship with – and who come to fully appreciate the wonder of the Father’s ultimate purpose in creation? Let us more clearly hear the voice of Jesus saying, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls.” [v.29] and the “market place” will have little or no meaning or role in our lives.

    Thought for July 9th. “FOR MY PEOPLE WHO …”

    Today and tomorrow we read the final 2 chapters of Isaiah.  God expresses through the prophet his lament for those who turn away from him, those who “insulted me” – to whom he says, “do not come near me, for I am too holy for you” [65 v.5,7]       In contrast, his genuine servants “shall sing for gladness of heart” and “his servants he will call by another name so that he who blesses himself by the God of truth … because the former troubles are forgotten … for behold I create new heavens and a new earth” [v.14-17].           This will be “for my people who have sought me” [v.10].   The key question the LORD asks us all is  – do you seek God – do you see him as the God of truth?  Isaiah of course is writing for his people, the Jews, but these words also apply to everyone – for when Jesus came and died his sacrifice was for people of all nations. His final words to his disciples at the end of Matthew’s gospel are, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them … teaching them to observe all I have commanded you.”                                                     Let’s take into our minds more of what God said through Isaiah, it is a wonderful heart stirring vision of life in the future when “the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. But be glad and rejoice forever …” [v.17,18]  Nature itself will be changed, “The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox … they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says the LORD” [v.25,26].             And in Chapter 66 more words jump out at us! “… this is the one to whom I will look : he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.” [v.2]  That reminds us of how Jesus started his ‘Sermon on the mount’ – “Blessed are the poor (lowly) in spirit (attitude of mind)”            Ask yourself,  Do I qualify to be among those to whom God “will look”?  Do my attitudes, my aims in life qualify me for the wonder God has ordained for the future?  Whether we will be part of this wondrous time we are reading about depends on the “spirit,” the attitude of mind that is genuinely developing within us, as true servants. Let’s finish by quoting v.14 of this final chapter, “You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice … the hand of the LORD shall be known to his servants …”   May we be among those who “see” and “rejoice”
