Find peace by picturing angels at war.

The outcome of a contest often comes down to who wants it more. As a result, nothing makes our spiritual enemy happier than when we take matters of faith and eternity lightly. While we think it’s all fun and games, he’s playing for keeps. Thankfully we have a God who takes this battle just as seriously and who is far stronger than our foe. This week we see how our enemy the devil has been dealt a fatal blow. By Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, he has lost all ability to accuse us before God’s throne. While he still tries to fool us with his lies - and will never give up trying - Jesus’ blood and God’s testimony about him allows us to see right through those lies. Satan has fallen! The salvation of our God has come!
