Day 71 Promise 529 John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. (KJV) When people think about the judgment of the world, they think about the last day when God will judge everyone. Jesus said the judgment of the world had come and the prince of the world would be cast out. He referred to Lucifer’s judgment, otherwise known as Satan. He became the prince of this world when he tempted Adam and Eve to sin in the Garden of Eden. As Christians, you know Satan’s judgment happened the moment Jesus died on the cross and the veil in the temple tore from top to bottom. An earthquake occurred at the moment of Jesus’ death. Satan is no longer in charge of the earth. As Jesus cast him out, you can cast him out of your life and let him know the sentence has already been given. His future is decided. Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (KJV) None of that could happen if Jesus didn’t die and rise from the dead. Satan would not have been judged, and you couldn’t know Him as Savior and Lord. However, because Jesus died and rose again, everyone can know Him and accept Him as Savior and Lord. Jesus told His disciples that was His purpose—to die for the sins of the world and bring judgment against Satan. Do you know Jesus as Savior and Lord? Have you told Satan he can’t touch you because Jesus already cast him out? If not, you have the right to tell him to leave you and your family and friends alone. He has no right to tempt you because it was taken from him on the cross. Let’s pray: Father, Your Word is faithful and true. Your promises are yes and amen. Satan has no hold on me because Jesus judged him on the cross. Help me stand against Satan when he comes against me to tempt me and tell me lies. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
