Sunday we shall see from Exodus 17:8-16 that being a follower of Christ involves engaging in a battle. Charles Spurgeon helps orient us:
“The children of Israel were not under the power of Amalek — they were
free men; and so we are not under the power of sin any longer. The yoke
of sin has been broken by God’s grace from off our necks, and now we have
to fight not as slaves against a master, but as freemen against a foe. Moses
never said to the children of Israel while they were in Egypt, “Go, fight with
Pharaoh.” Not at all; it is God’s work to bring us out of Egypt and make
us his people, but when we are delivered from bondage, although it is God’s
work to help us, we must be active in our cause. Now that we are alive from
the dead we must wrestle with principalities and powers and spiritual
wickedness if we are to overcome.”
Spread the word!
