This week’s Sabbath School study is called, “The Power of the Exalted Jesus.” One of the things it considers is the “now” and “not yet” statements in scripture in relation to the scope of the reign of Jesus. Fridays first discussion question reads,
“Ponder the ‘now’ and ‘not yet’ of the exaltation of Jesus. In what sense is Jesus already the Lord of ‘all things,’ with the demonic powers subservient to Him—that is, the ‘now’? And in what sense does His full reign over all things look toward the future—the ‘not yet’? (See 1 Corinthians 15:24-28.)” Sabbath School Quarterly Lesson, Friday, July 14, 2023
So, what about the time between now and then? Are we to just wait for that time to come? I mean, after all, Jesus’ enemies are ultimately our enemies too. Can we hasten the coming of Christ and the end of death?
Yes. And to hasten His coming and the end of death, we have to stop sinning in the power of God’s might, being clad in His armor. Then we can go into all the world, conquering and to conquer. And when you think about it, doesn’t this just make sense? How could the great controversy between Jesus and His angels and Satan and his angels end with, well, no practical victory on the earth over sin this side of the second coming?
Remember that Satan’s contention was that the law of God was too difficult, and that humans would never be able to keep it? Well, if we never **are** able to keep it, wouldn’t Satan’s contention have been accurate? Wouldn’t Satan therefore have had actually won the great controversy? In this study, we look at the practical way we can hasten the coming of Christ.
