When did Christ defeat Satan? Well, it was predicted immediately after the fall in the third chapter of the Bible, when it says Christ will “bruise [Him] on the head” (Gen. 3:15). 1 John 3:8, “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil” (cf. Jn. 12:31). We see this victory ultimately happen through His Passion when our Savior defeated the devil and dealt Him a mortal wound. Hebrews 2:14, “That through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Colossians 2:15, “When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.” And then He, 1 Peter 3:22, ascended to “the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.” The war is over. The mission is completed. Satan is defeated. And while he still, 1 Peter 5:8, “Prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour,” his ultimate defeat is guaranteed. Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Revelation 20:10, “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

Today's Chuckles

1. Trust

2. Stagecoach Surprise

                     ------------------------------

Trust

On a hot summer evening in Yuma, Arizona, I pulled up 

to a gas pump. 

Because I needed an item from a nearby store, I decided 

to go there while my tank was being filled. 

I left my credit card with the attendant. 

I'd only gone a few steps when it occurred to me that I 

might be delayed because of a line-up at the store. So 

I called back to the attendant that if he needed to move 

the truck, the keys were on the seat. 

"Let me get this straight, sir," he responded, melting 

in the heat. "You're leaving the credit card and the keys?" 

he grinned. "I'll write you from Alaska!"

Stagecoach Surprise

 

I had a dream the other night. I was in the 

old West riding in a stagecoach. Suddenly, 

a man riding a horse pulls up to the left 

side of the stagecoach, and a riderless 

horse pulls up on the right.

 

The man leans down, pulls open the door,

and jumps off his horse into the stagecoach.

Then he opens the door on the other side 

and jumps onto the other horse.

 

Just before he rode off, I yelled out, "What 

was all that about?"

 

He replied, "Nothing. It's just a stage I'm 

going through."
