The Good Shepherd accomplished the ultimate countermove. Much like the Maccabees, the Messiah turned the repudiation of the civil and religious authorities into the greatest victory against evil and the kingdom of darkness. By driving nails into the Lord of glory they literally nailed their own fate. The divine strategy won the victory and authority at Calvary, which has been given to the Body of Christ to continue the good fight in the cause of Christ.
