Genesis 3:15 New International Version (NIV)
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
This is God's curse upon the serpent who tempted Eve and
Adam to sin. Satan is the personality behind the serpent. Even in this curse,
even in the recognition of a struggle between the woman's offspring and Satan,
God embeds his promise for our better future. In Jesus, that future comes!
Satan appears to win the battle at the Cross, but the passage of three days
changes everything. Jesus' triumph over death leaves him with only a
"bruised heel," but leaves Satan powerless to make death the final
word. The Evil One's best plans and greatest power lie crushed at the doorway
of Jesus' empty tomb!
Thought for today: What
do I allow to hobble my thinking?
