Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White

Learn of Jesus
Today's Text:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
The Message:

     The great controversy between the Prince of light and the prince of darkness has not abated one jot or tittle of its fierceness as time has gone on. The stern conflict between light and darkness, between error and truth, is deepening in its intensity. The synagogue of Satan is intensely active, and in this age the deceiving power of the enemy is working in the most subtle way. Every human mind that is not surrendered to God, and is not under the control of the Spirit of God, will be perverted through satanic agencies.

     The enemy is working continually to supplant Jesus Christ in the human heart, and to place his attributes in the human character in the place of the attributes of God. He brings his strong delusions to bear upon the human mind in order that he may have a controlling power. He seeks to obliterate the truth and abolish the true pattern of goodness and righteousness, in order that the professed Christian world shall be swept to perdition through separation from God. He is working in order that selfishness shall become worldwide, and thus make of no effect the mission and work of Christ.

     Christ came to the world to bring back the character of God to humankind, and to retrace on the human soul the divine image. Through His entire life Christ sought by continuous, laborious efforts to call the world's attention to God and to His holy requirements in order that people might be imbued with the Spirit of God, might be actuated by love, and might reveal in life and character the divine attributes....

     In the character of Christ majesty and humility were blended. Temperance and self-denial were seen in every act of His life. But there was no taint of bigotry, no cold austerity manifested in His manner to lessen His influence over those with whom He came in contact. The world's Redeemer had a greater-than-angelic nature, yet united with His divine majesty were meekness and humility that attracted all to Himself....

     Christ, our Redeemer, comprehended all the necessities of humanity. He formulated the mighty plans by which the fallen race is to be uplifted from the degradation of sin. In every circumstance, however trivial, He represented the Father. Though upholding the world by the word of His power, yet He would stoop to relieve a wounded bird.-Manuscript 39, 1894.

Commentary:
My friend, it is Satan's aim to separate us from the One who can redeem us; to corrupt the impress of God with his attributes, and to deceive as many as possible into worshiping him.  In the Christian world he has been widely successful.  By the introduction of the trinity, he has deceived them into worshiping an altogether different God; one that has the outward appearance of God, but at its core is not.  Through this great deception he has led all, even the Seventh-day Adventist Church into worshiping a false god.

The trinity is a misrepresentation of God and in essence destroys the gospel by denying the Father and the Son, and leads the believer to rely upon another mediator for their salvation.  By claiming that the Son is co-eternal with the Father, it destroys the father-son relationship, for if the Son had no beginning then how could He be a son, and if the Son is not really a son, then how can the Father truly be a father.  This belief makes God out to be a liar for He said "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17).

The foundation of the gospel is that God sent His Son for the redemption of the fallen race of man.  If the Son was not really a son, then how could He send His Son?  The Apostle John says "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." (1 John 2:22).  The spirit of the trinity is the spirit of antichrist.

My friend, our salvation depends upon our connection to God through His Son Jesus Christ.  If we are worshiping the trinity we are not connected with God, but with the archdeceiver.  The Bible says And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:1-3).  If we are to have the impress of the Father in our lives, we must have the Son of God living within our hearts, for it is by His Spirit that we are redeemed, not the spirit of another.  "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" (1 Timothy 2:5).

May your eyes be opened to the deception of the trinity, that you may look unto Jesus, the true Son of God, today.

God bless,

Jesus Opened the Understanding of His Followers

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White Jesus Opened the Understanding of His Followers Today's Text: Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. Luke 24:45 The Message:      The sayings of Christ are to be valued, not merely in accordance with the measure of the understanding of those who hear; they are to be considered in the important bearing that Christ Himself attaches to them. He took the old truths, of which He Himself was the originator, and placed them before His hearers in heaven's own light. How different was their representation. What a flood of meaning and brightness and spirituality was brought in by their explanation.      After His resurrection Christ opened the understanding of His followers, that they might understand the Scriptures. Everything had been transformed by the working ...

When All Seems Hopeless, Look for Heaven's Ladder

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White When All Seems Hopeless, Look for Heaven's Ladder Today's Text: And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. Genesis 28:16 The Message:      The angels of God were ascending and descending upon this mystic ladder, and when he [Jacob] awoke he said, "Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not." Thus it is with us. If our eyes could be opened, we would see the angels of God all around us, and the evil angels are here also, trying to destroy us, but the good angels are pressing them back.      Jacob thought to gain a right to the birthright through deception, but he found himself disappointed. He thought he had lost everything, his connection with God, his home and all; and there he was a disappointed fugitive. But what did God do? He looked upon him in his hopeless condition, He saw his disappointment, and He saw...

God's Protective Cloud in the Desert

Christ Triumphant - A Devotional by E.G. White God's Protective Cloud in the Desert Today's Text: Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us? Exodus 14:11 The Message:      There is a lesson of the greatest importance for us in the experience of the children of Israel as they left Egypt. More than a million people had been led out of the right course, as many of them thought, into a valley hemmed in by mountains. Before them lay the Red Sea, and behind them, following fast after in pursuit, was Pharaoh's host.      In the beginning of their march the children of Israel had been guided by a cloud. Ignorant and superstitious because of their long years of bondage in a land of superstition, the people looked upon this cloud with wonder. Some regarded it with fear, while others declared that it was a favorable omen. As the people were encamped b...
