Listen "A Top-Down Faith - The Devil Does His Worst. Jesus Wins Anyways! - June 9, 2024"
Episode Synopsis
Genesis 3:8-15
From any outside perspective it looked like the devil had won. Adam and Eve had taken his word to heart and chose to disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit. Their act of defiance had driven a wedge between them and God.
Thousands of years later, on a hill, it looked like the devil was victorious again. The corpse of the Son of God–Eve's promised offspring–hung on a cross. His followers were dismayed, terrified, and scattered.
Still today it seems like the devil wins victory after victory. From the evil in the world, to the evil in the hearts of believers that bring us shame, it looks like the battle is all but lost.
However, all the way back in the garden, God made an announcement, not of defeat, not of concession, but of victory. Even as the world first plunged into sin, death, and evil, God was there to promise a light!
The devil does his worst. Jesus wins anyway!
