The Greatest of Them All

Brother, stop and think if you will, And I’ll tell you a story how Jesus bested the devil in his final deal. The devil thought he had the upper hand the day Jesus was crucified, He thought this would be the end of Jesus and his followers would all fall by the wayside. But before Jesus’ spirit left His body, He asked the Father for forgiveness and took on the sins of mankind, He interceded on our behalf and gave to us a chance for salvation if we seek Him with our hearts and our minds. He didn’t have to die that day on the hill of Calvary, He could have called down Legions of Angels to stop it you see! This was His way of showing His love for us and a way for mankind to be set free, And receive all the glories of Heaven is why Jesus allowed them to nail Him to that tree. His poor body racked with pain as His life blood ran to the ground, All of this just for us do you see where this story is bound? All the pain and suffering He endured means nothing at all, If you choose to follow the beast then you have to accept your fate, get ready to fall. Don’t you know the devil danced a jig when he saw the sight of Jesus on the Cross. Then Jesus asked for forgiveness for our sins, it was then the devil knew he had lost. You can’t do that the devil cried, After all they’ve done to you, why it’s not justified. But He did, He did it for us, to free our souls, He beat the devil, as He played out this role.
