JESUS' VICTORY OVER SATAN
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Jesus’ Victory Over Satan
a) Satan does know our weaknesses but this is from his observations. He knows where we are weak in the flesh and so he accuses the brethren day and night before the very throne of God (Revelation 12:10) but this doesn’t matter, even though he may be right.
b) We are seen by God the Father as having Jesus’ righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21) and so even though the Enemy accuses us and may want to sift us like wheat (Luke 22:31), God forgives us (1 John 1:9). Anyway, Jesus has conquered the Devil as it is written, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you” (Romans 16:20).
c) Our High Priest understood that, “Since the children have flesh and blood he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death” (Hebrews 2:14-15) and Jesus “disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” (Colossians 2:15). Jesus testified that “the prince of this world now stands condemned” (John 16:1).
