Revelation 12, Our Heavenly Advocate

The church of Jesus Christ often seems small and weak, especially in a time of suffering. Revelation 12 is a picture of the battle that’s been going on since creation between the offspring of the devil and the offspring of the woman. What we find is that the accuser can no longer be present in the heavenly council but is sent to the earth. Though he may cause suffering, he cannot take away the eternal salvation and security that believers have in Christ. Today let us thank God that we have a heavenly advocate in Jesus Christ, the righteous one.
