Behind the fall and ruin of man lay Satan in his fall and ruin. Yet out of that rebellion of his, Satan would receive God’s mediate judgment, awaiting that great final conflagration in the fiery lake that burns forever. And then when that first man brought ruin to himself and us, the promise came to redeem some of that ruined humanity because they were loved from everlasting. And so, the Redeemer came. A shocking surprise that we should be loved and sought. But so it was to the praise and glory of God.
