7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
John gives another reason for why Jesus Christ became a man of flesh and blood: in order to destroy Satan’s work!
Question 1
Who is the devil? (Read Genesis 3 if for help)
Question 2
How has Jesus destroyed the devil’s work?
Question 3
Why is this such good news for those today who believe in Jesus Christ? Read Romans 16:20 and Hebrews 2:14 to help you.
Pray:
Thank you, Father, that Jesus came to conquer Satan and sin on the cross! Thank you that we are now free to serve you. Help us to remember Jesus’ victory during Christmas.
