The Dragon Slayer

The Dragon Slayer

Iâ€™m one of the many who are tired of hearing about Satan. And Iâ€™m tired of hearing him talked about as though Christ didnâ€™t kick him out and his demonic cronies with him. Iâ€™m tired of hearing him talked about as if he were the lord of sin. Listen, if Satan dropped down stone dead this moment sin would still exist because Satan isnâ€™t the lord of sin; sin conquered him and heâ€™s a fellow-sinner like the rest of us. Doesnâ€™t it distress you when you hear popular writers saying God isnâ€™t in control of the world and that demon-thugs are burning down houses and forcing their way into peopleâ€™s minds to make them do evil just because they can? Is there no gospel to preach? Must we ceaselessly talk about the reality of evil? Is Christ not real?
Somewhere in the middle of all the worldâ€™s great wrongs and satanic behaviour a cross was raised that judged the world and cast out its prince. All the sensationalism of all the books in all the world canâ€™t change that! At a cross outside Jerusalem God stripped the powers of their authority and made an eternal spectacle of them. And then one Sunday morning the Sovereign God raised Jesus of Nazareth to immortal glory! In him a new creation began with a new humanity and he is bringing it to a glorious finale even as we read.
Whispering about the cross in a auditorium where the lights are turned down and children are hushed maybe no bad thing but this message of the cross has worlds colliding and empires falling there on that hill. Itâ€™s just possible that young people lose interest in the â€œmessage of the crossâ€ because all the dreams and adventure is taken out of it by too steady a diet of preached whimpering.
These are the sort of things this book says.
