Sunday Sermon, January 31, 2021
Jesus is pulling back a curtain in this short scene. Behind it, the truth of human condition is laid bare. Our great danger, bondage even, and our great need comes into clear focus. The good news is that God has broken into our world in Jesus Christ. That not only does Jesus pull back the curtain and show us the puppet master- Satan. He ties him up, and steals what wasn’t his in the first place. We aren’t good people who needed guidance, or even bad people that needed redirection. We were in bondage, and we needed rescue.
