There is a war of world views: God v. Satan. The world’s view is opposed to God, violent, corrupt, and selfish. How does God reconcile the world to himself? Not through power (force), but through the humble obedience of Jesus, who lovingly sacrificed himself for us. It is through the cross that we have forgiveness and reconciliation. The ideas of this lesson were borrowed from Jim McGuiggan’s “The Dragon Slayer”, chapter 4: The Ride and Fall of Pandemonium.
