Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms.
Jesus worked all His life. But the greatest work that Jesus
did was not in the carpenter’s shop, nor even at the marriage feast of Cana
where He turned the water into wine. The greatest work that Jesus did was not
when He made the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, nor even
the dead to rise. The greatest work that Jesus did was not when He taught as
One having authority, or when He scathingly denounced the Pharisees for their
hypocrisy. The greatest work that Jesus did was not in the great ethical
program He presented to mankind—that program which has become the foundation
for Western culture. What, then, was His greatest work? His greatest work was
achieved in those three dark hours on Calvary. Christ’s greatest work was His
dying for us.
