Jesus entered the temple and
began to drive out those who were selling, saying
to them, “It is written, ‘And My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a robbers’ den.” And He was
teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the
leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him, and they could not find anything that
they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.
One rule concerning the rule of
Satan is that whoever He can not tempt, deceive, or act outside of the will of
God, he will destroy. Here it is evident
that Jesus Christ is who He says He is, who is the Son of God. When Satan could not deceive him into a sin,
he plots through those who are his own (the chief priests and the scribes) to
destroy Jesus. What he did not count on
is that through the Cross, Jesus would save many through His atoning blood and
reign victorious over sin, death, and the devil. It was the Cross, which Satan planned for the
purposes of evil, to be used by God for the purposes of good. This is because all things work together for
good for those who love God and are called according to his purposes.
Daily Prayer: Father, in Your infinite wisdom, You have
found a way suitable to You to reconcile us back to You. What Satan means for harm, You use for good,
to demonstrate Your wisdom and goodness to the world. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
