S - SCRIPTURE:
John 16:33b In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
O - OBSERVATION:
In this world there are lots of problems, disease, brokenness, bullying, addiction, and every evil known to man. Jesus acknowledges this in the first portion of this verse, but then He shows us the cure; He has overcome the world! Of course this means He has also overcome the father of
every evil, namely Satan.
A - APPLICATION: Because Jesus has overcome Satan, these sins don’t have to rule in our lives anymore! Jesus has made a way for us to escape, a way for us to say “get thee behind me Satan!” “Or be gone Satan!” These are the words of Jesus to Satan when he unsuccessfully tempts Jesus in the wilderness. These are the words of the very Son of God to the devil! Because Jesus has overcome him, we to can and should say ”Get thee behind me Satan!” Because Jesus has overcome the world we enjoy victory through Him, by calling on His Name!
Philippians 2:11 Let every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
P - PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, help us to always know that Jesus has overcome the world and all of Satan’s ploys. Because Jesus reigns supreme, we too can say when tempted, get thee behind me Satan, and know without a doubt that the evil one will flee. Grant us this faith Lord, In Jesus Name, Amen
