JESUS WILL ALWAYS WIN

“Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

John 19:16-19
King James Version

Jesus has told us to be on the alert for the attacks of satan. We read in the Bible. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (I Peter 5:8). No matter how many times satan attacks us with his vicious lies; Jesus will always win because He defeated satan on the cross.

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that Jesus Who had never done anything wrong walked that long lonely road to Calvary and there allowed them to crucify Him on a cruel cross. Jesus suffered an agony and pain that you and I will never know. They beat Him beyond recognition. They spat on Him, mocked Him, rejected Him and left Him alone to die on that cross and pay the debt for our sins, a debt we could never have paid.

Ray Overholt wrote one of the greatest hymns I believe that has ever been written “Ten Thousand Angels”. “He could have called ten thousand angels To destroy the world and set Him free. He could have called ten thousand angels, But He died alone, for you and me.”

We read in the Bible that Jesus said He could have called angels to set Him free. “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53) Jesus has already defeated satan on the cross and we don’t have to be in bondage to satan.

Jesus wants us to live an abundant life. We read in the Bible. “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). If you want to live a happy and an abundant life, open the door of your heart and let Jesus come into your heart.

For some people, Jesus has been knocking on the door of their heart for years and they have refused to open the door to Him. How it must hurt our precious Saviour and break His heart when people reject Him. We read in the Bible. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). Don’t keep hurting Him. Jesus loves you so much He died for you. Invite Him into your heart right now. Don’t wait because you may not have another day or even another hour.
