    When Jesus Is The Adversary

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 19, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,477 views

    A look at a challenging passage that indicates that when we refuse Jesus as Savior He will become our Adversary at judgment.

    - These verses seem out of place. Why would Jesus end what He was saying here with talk about going to court?
