Screwtape in Danger

May 5, 2015 by Dan Sullivan

I’m reading the Screwtape Letters, which has to be, by far, my favorite book of all. Screwtape is writing to his nephew, a junior demon that has just begun the job of tempting a human and leading him (hopefully for Wormwood) to Hell.

Screwtape is talking in this section about how ‘The Enemy’ (which of course is the Lord) will allow suffering into a person’s life so that they will follow the Lord more deeply and truly.

“Do not be decieved, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger, than when a human, no longer desiring, but intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys. “

“Our cause is never more in danger” he says. He is, of course, talking about Jesus dying on the cross, which was the ultimate show of obedience to God.
