Jesus deliberately destroyed the works of the devil.
The devil didn’t come to Jesus. Jesus came to the devil.
Peter said Jesus “went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.”
Satan is called “the evil one.” Jesus doing good, by definition, undermines Satan.
Satan is the oppressor of the sick and diseased. Jesus sets the oppressed free, destroying the
works of the enemy, destroying the works of slavery.
Jesus called Satan, “the father of lies.” The Lord told Pilate he was born to bear
witness to the truth. As The Witness of
Truth, he undermines the father of lies.
Everything Jesus was and everything he did exposed, shamed,
and crippled evil.
His birth alone, his
entry into this world, was light eradicating darkness forever.
Do we see Jesus like this?
Do we understand his enmity against the enemy?
Over and over again he cast out demons, and they screamed in
terror because of his presence alone.
Do we believe that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and
forever?
Then as long as there is a Satan, and as long as there are
demons, Jesus lives to destroy their works.
