w    John 12:31-33   Now is the time  for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.  He said this to show the kind of death He was going to die.

w    1st John 3:8 He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

w    The work of the devil is to tempt people to sin. But also to destroy sin as a way of life for the Christian. ( Romans 6:1)

 

 

w    Hebrews 2:14-15   Since the children have flesh and blood, he shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy 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.

The Only Lethal Weapon the Devil Has

w     Now how does that render powerless the one who had the power of death, the devil? It doesn't mean Christians don't die a physical death – sometimes very painful ones. Nor does it mean that Satan can't kill us (see Revelation 2:10). What it means is that the only weapon the devil can use to destroy us in death is our sin. Nobody goes to hell because they are oppressed by the devil or even possessed by the devil… The only reason anybody goes to hell is because of their own sin. And all Satan can do is fight to keep you sinning and to keep you away from the one who forgives sin… Because if your sin is forgiven, and the wrath of God Almighty is turned away from you, then the devil is disarmed.                  

 

 

w    Hebrews 2:14-15 Since the children have flesh and blood, he shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy 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.

 

 

 

w     Colossians 2:14-15 He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us, and that stood opposed to us; he took it  away , nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

William Barclay

w     When a Roman general had won a really notable victory, he was allowed to march his victorious armies through the streets of Rome and behind him followed the kings and the leaders and the peoples he had vanquished. They were openly branded as his spoils. Paul thinks of Jesus as a conqueror enjoying a kind of cosmic triumph, and in his triumphal procession are the powers of evil, beaten for ever, for every one to see.

 

w   2nd Corinthians 2:14 (NIV)   “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ”

 

John 19: 28-30

28- Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “ I am

29- A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on the stalk of the hyssop plant , and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.

30-When he has received the drink, Jesus said, “ it is finished. “ With that, he bowed his head and give up his spirit
