Jesus destroys evil

THE 8th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

But you were like a cloud, protecting us from the sun. You kept our enemies from singing songs of victory. ~ Isaiah 25:5b (CEV)

God’s Son appeared for this purpose: to destroy the works of the devil. ~ 1 John 3:8b

KEY IDEA:
Jesus destroys evil.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Jesus, for being with me when I come up against evil. On my own, I'm seduced by voices that promise safety and the good life but produce emptiness and fear. Hold me fast and help me trust that you win the day. Let my song be your story of abundant life and mercy. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
