If you are here this morning and you are fed up with God and with the conditions of his rule, hear this urgent warning. Be instructed and become wise. The serpent would like for you to believe that true life exists outside of God’s kind designs. But it is a lie. Instead of being a servant to God, Satan would have you become a slave to yourself. That is a miserable exchange—and its end is dissatisfaction, disappointment, and destruction. Instead, you must heed the commands of vv 10-11. “Be wise” “Be warned” “Serve the Lord.” The Messiah’s enthronement and his universal rule is good news, if you will have it—because he has come to deliver you, once and for all, from your sin. There is nothing you need to do except to run to him.
