1 John 3:8.
a) John 8:44. We need Him because the wilfully sinful person is influenced by the Devil.
b) The Devil has been sinning from the beginning.
c) The Son of God came to destroy the Devil's work.
(This QT reminds me that I Need Jesus The Son Of God)
----------
'Emotional Violence.'
John 18:10.
a) At the time of Jesus' arrest.
b) Simon Peter took his sword. (Why did he have a sword?)
c) He took out his sword and struck the High Priest's servant.
d) He cut off his right ear.
e) The servant's name was Malchus.
f) The name Malchus has a meaning of 'Counsellor', he was obviously an important man in Israel at that time.
(This Second one shows me an example of the wrong way, the way of Emotional Violence)

Chris.
I need Jesus The Son of God every day. One of the main purposes of His Coming was to destroy the Devil's work. The Bible tells me that the Devil came to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to give Abundant Life and to destroy the Devil's work.
