The Devil a Living Foe
Luke 4:2-4
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungry.…


Here is no fate, law, machinery, impersonality merely, but a living friend and a living foe seeking our souls. I apprehend it should impart a more intense reality to our lives did we habitually grasp this verity of our "ever-living advocate," and ever-living accuser — both, not one merely.

(A. B. Grosart, LL. D.)
