Christ, even while he was alive on this earth, taught those earliest disciples: “I am not a mistake out of thin air. I’m not just an appearance for this time being. God has been planning this all along, and Isaiah the Prophet spoke of it: I am the answer to not only the enemy at the gates of the Roman Empire, but I am here to answer the enemy at the gates of your soul. I am the fulfillment of the Suffering Servant, the atoning sacrifice for your sins.” … Every one of us has an enemy at the gate, and we’re looking for an answer. Christ has provided an opportunity for us to have hope and joy again. — Pastor Billy Arnold
