1 John 4:4b “he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.“
Donald Grey Barnhouse once asked the question, “What would a city look like that was completely ruled by the devil?” While many of us might picture a city like Sodom and Gomorrah or Babylon, Barnhouse said a city completely ruled by Satan might look like something we never imagined: Every lawn would be mowed. No one would drive over the speed limit, children would be obedient to parents, marriages would remain intact, and every church would have a beautiful building. However, the gospel would not be preached at any place or in any pulpit because the devil’s primary ambition is to prevent the gospel from being preached. The devil’s aim is to keep people from believing the gospel.

Gospel Takeaway: The greatest death secured our greatest triumph and the great triumph finalized Satan’s defeat…
“The devil has only two weapons: pain and pleasure. He will either hurt you so bad you hate God, or he will give you so much pleasure you don’t need God. And the solution to both is the same: God is more precious than what I lose; God is more precious than what I gain, You can’t have me, Satan!” – John Piper
