Victory Over The Devil (By The 10 R’s)
Illustration: Medieval artists had a particularly graphic way of depicting this struggle and Christ’s victory that followed. On their canvases they would paint the portrait of a man holding a sharp two-edged sword. Wrapped around His feet and legs is a serpent with bared fangs dripping their deadly poison. The two are in a fight to the death. The serpent weaves back and forth seeking an opening, looking for the opportunity to strike a major artery and inject its deadly poison. But all that the snake manages is one little nip at the man’s heels before its head is sliced off. We are in Christ if by faith we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior to lets go forth in HIS example remembering we are HIS BODY in the earth!
