God didn’t have to leave His throne to defeat Satan and his host of demonic angles in efforts to conquer death and restore humanity. He could have destroyed this angel gone rogue in the same capacity He created it; by His word. ILO exhibiting and employing His omnipotence He deployed the lowest of His limitless attributes; weakness. Check out Hebrews 2:14, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.” A commentator wrote, “It is a point little considered, though one of much importance, that the Lord Jesus had, as if personally, to grapple with and overcome the prince of the power of the air, to hurl Satan from his usurped throne, to destroy his works, and overthrow his kingdom; and this not by an act of omnipotent power, but by an act of the lowest weakness, for He was crucified through weakness.” So today remember it was by the death of the cross that our gracious Lord took the punishment we deserved and offered His righteousness in efforts to reconcile us back to God and to save us from eternal death! Hands down, this is the greatest love story ever told! #TYJ
