The Price

One day satan and Jesus were having a conversation. satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden, and satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)

'Yes, Lord, now I have everybody captive, (well nearly everybody down there). I set traps, I used the baits of temptation, I know well what each one of them can't resist. I nearly caught them all!' (I Pet 5:8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)

'What are you going to do with them?' Jesus asked, and He was praying to God the Father.

Satan answered 'Oh, I am going to have some fun with them! I'll make them divorce after they have married so the foundation of humanity will never be able to be establish 'the family' (Mt 19: 4-6;Mal 2: 16). I will make them hate each other and abuse each other, make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control (Rom 13: 12-14). I will teach them to make weapons and bombs, so they kill each other. I am really going to have fun!''

And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?' Jesus asked and continued praying.

'Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever. Lord by all respect, it's their decision'. (I Jn 3: 8-10)

'How much do you want for all of them?' Jesus asked.

'Oh, you can't want these people. They aren't anything good. Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you? Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying you. What's more, they love me a lot' (Mt 24: 10-13). You don't want these people!'

'How much?' Jesus asked again.

Satan looked at him with a nasty face. 'All your tears and all your blood, all the pain of the entire world, all together'. (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24)

Jesus said...'DONE''and He paid the price' (II Cor 5: 21).

Never give the devil a ride! He will always want to drive!

Have a FREEDOM-filled ride!
