Many of our assumptions about the way life is and how the world works need to be cross-examined and corrected. Once his work on earth was complete, Jesus sent his Holy Spirit to do just that—to be his expert witness to expose our false assumptions and set the record straight. This week the Holy Spirit helps us see that offense is actually offense. Wherever the gospel is shared, there will be some who take offense at it. Far from indicating failure, however, that rejection only results in the further spread of the gospel elsewhere. As the devil mounts his strongest resistance to the gospel’s growth, his best efforts only serve to advance Christ’s kingdom.
