Evil Bruises Us, But Christ gives the Restoration and Victory

There is a saying in Asian classical battle principle by Sun Tzu (c. 6th century BC) who was a Chinese General, military strategist, and author of The Art of War, an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy; said, . "Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time." (????,????)



From the moment of human beings' fall and great misery, God had already planned to send Christ through the channel of the human seed, the mother of Jesus, Mary. God planned to save the world and restore the human condition of happiness.



At the moment when humans fell, God had already given the promise of restoration and provided the remedy. That remedy was Jesus Christ. Humans fell, but God did not fail in executing His redemptive plan. Evil bruises us, but God gives us restoration and victory through Messiah.



That hope shines like a morning star in the dark sky.
