Hebrews 12:2
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
I can imagine Jesus sitting on the throne next to God looking down on earth and speaking to Satan saying, “Nice try Satan. You gave it your best but, in the end, it was not enough. You…
Tried to tempt me to turn away from God
Had people mock me
Had people betray me
Had people insult me
Had people spit on me
Had people whip me
Had people place a crown of thorns on my head
Had people lie to me
Even had people crucify me
Yet in the end, through the power of my Father, I endured it all. There is nothing that you could ever do that I can’t overcome.
Now, with all the power given to me by my father, I too, give to all those that believe in me, so they also will overcome all that you try and tempt them with. You have been rendered powerless over them even to death, for they will rise again and live with us in heaven for all of eternity. You have been defeated!
For those who believe…
For every temptation – I will provide a way out.
For every pain – I will provide comfort.
For every loss – I will come near.
For every sacrifice – I will replenish tenfold.
For every betrayal – I will be faithful.
For every fear or worry – I will give my peace.
For every sickness – I will ultimately heal.
For every death – I give eternal life.
The very best you can do is to temporarily distract my people. Yet I give them churches to attend, bible studies to join, my bible to read, songs to sing, creation to contemplate, and direct access to me through prayer to keep them on track. Oh, but the best yet is that I left my Holy Spirit in them when I left this earth, so they have a 24/7, 365-day-a-year helper to guide them.
You see Satan, it’s time you concede, but I know you too well. You won’t. So, the day is coming that I will return and once and for all you will be eliminated, and my Father’s plan will be completed.
Nice try Satan, but you lose!
Just a Thought…
