The greatest warrior

Jesus is the greatest warrior

(John 18:4-6) Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, asked them,“Who is it                        you want?” 

                    “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.

                    “I am he,” Jesus said. When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to 

                      the ground.

(John 18:11) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the   

                               Father has given me?”

(John 18:37) “You are a king then!” said Pilate.

                      Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I 

                      was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone

                      on the side of truth listens to me.”

(John 19:11) “Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to

                               you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty 

                               of a greater sin.”

(Matthew 27:54) When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the 

                                  earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and 

                                  exclaimed,“Surely he was the Son of God!”

(Matthew 28:2-4) There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from

                                  heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His

                                  appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The

                                  guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead 

                                  men.

(Matthew 28:6) “He is not here: he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place

                               where he lay.”

(Matthew 28:18) Then Jesus came to them  and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth 

                                  has

                                  been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, 

                                  baptizing

                                  them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

                                  and

                                  teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I 

                                   am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

When God is silent, He has faith in our abilities.

(Job 1:6-22) This is Job’s first test. Satan was trying his best to provoke Job to curse God and failed. Through all of his misery, God was silent. (Verse 22) In all this, Job did not commit sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

(Job 2:1-10) This is Job’s second test. In all of his sufferings, God was silent. (Verse 10) He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good things from God, and not trouble?”

God allowed Satan to test Job because He has faith in his abilities to survive. God says in (Job 1:8) ………… “There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and decent, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”

(Job 23:10-12) But He knows the path that I take; when He has tested me, I will be refined as gold. My feet have firmly followed his steps. I have kept His way without turning aside. I have not departed from His commands. I have treasured the Word of God more than my daily bread.

(Job 42:2-3) “I know that you can do everything. No plan of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘who is this that obscures my knowledge?’ Surely I said things that I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.”

(Job 42:12) The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the first…………
