The Devil's Waterloo

 

"But now is Christ Risen from the dead.

(1 Corinthians. 15:20)

 

"He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in him."

(Colossians. 2:15)

 

We've recently celebrated the greatest day in history:

Easter Sunday--Christ's resurrection from the dead.

On Friday, Satan and the demons of Hell, thought they were

ridding themselves of this Christ.  The agony of the cross

and the cries from the suffering Christ caused cheers and

applause in Hell.

 

During the Battle of Waterloo, news of the battle was

flashed from the hilltop by signal men until it reached

London.  In London, a large display board hung in the public

square to report updates on the war, and at a critical point

in the battle a signal was received through the thick fog

from sea.

 

These were the words written by the scribe on the board:

"WELLINGTON DEFEATED." At that moment, panic struck

the British people, and many made preparations to

immediately flee England!  The words revealed that the

British had been defeated by the French army, and now the

French would be advancing on English soil.

 

Then through the thick fog, one more word came through

the signalmen, which was written on the board:

NAPOLEON!"  Now the complete message read:

"WELLINGTON DEFEATED NAPOLEON!"

 

Fear and panic turned into joy and celebration, because the

enemy had been defeated.

 

On Friday, the devil scrawled the words:

"JESUS CHRIST DEFEATED."

His death on the cross was sure - His breath ceased and he

was laid in a cold tomb.  Gone Forever!  But on Sunday—the

words were completed:

"JESUS CHRIST DEFEATED SATAN!".

 

Christ is alive!  And because He lives, we can face any

situation in His strength.  Satan, sin and his misery have

been defeated. This is the greatest battle ever won in

history!

 

We welcome your comments, and ask for your prayer for

this ministry.
