David was the man
who slew the giant Goliath, Goliath who defied the living God and accused the brethren.
David, the champion of Israel, defeated the adversary, severing his head in utter
defiance.
Our champion, the Lord Jesus, the Son of David, has also slain the
adversary. He has defeated the accuser of the brethren, Satan, and made a show
of him openly on the cross. He has defeated sin and death and removed their
heads so that they can no longer accuse the brothers.
At this Advent Season, it is good for
us to remember that the Savior has come to save His people from their sins and
that this salvation means Jesus defeating every foe.
Sin and death are our giants but we do
not have to defeat them. The Lord Jesus has already done so and we must simply
believe this, having our faith in Christ and being found in Him. No accusation
shall stand against those whose hope is in Christ, Jesus.
