When everyone is going the same direction, it’s easiest to just “go with the flow.” But Jesus came to pioneer a path that runs opposite of worldly currents. His life and death for us did not conform to the pattern set by the world but established a new, transformative pattern instead. This week we see how the collision between these two opposing currents begins and ends with a head-to-head battle. Because we are by nature helpless to resist Satan’s pull on our lives, Jesus came to battle and defeat him one-on-one and in our place. Because his victory was as one of us and for all of us, this is the good news of his kingdom: repent and believe in him.
