It is pointless to resist

Morning: Psalms 61, 62; Job 40:1, 41:1-11; Acts 16:6-15

Evening: Psalm 68:1-36; John 12:9-19

In the 1980 film, The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader tells Luke “it is pointless to resist” the dark side. This echoes what other dark forces say about Jesus: “You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!” The power of darkness wants us to believe that resistance is futile, but Luke knows better and the Pharisees agree ... They find themselves admitting that the power that shines in Jesus is truly irresistible. Even a little light breaks the darkness, so when a great light shines, resistance to darkness becomes irrelevant, because light makes darkness disappear!
