오늘의 묵상
하나님을 찬양합시다! 예수님은 힘 센 사람의 집에 침입하셨습니다. 예수님은 그 사람을 제압하고 꽁꽁 묶었습니다. 예수님이 그 사람의 집에서 무엇을 갖고 나오셨나요? 감춰있던 보물들, 바로 우리들입니다!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus is quoting a popular truism in his day, using this "strong man" saying to refer to his own power over the evil one. Satan may be the strong man who has claimed us through our sin, but Jesus broke into the stronghold of the evil one and delivered us to freedom. Jesus is far stronger than evil, death, and hell. Through the cross, our Savior bound the strong man and then robbed him of us! He did this by becoming human and facing death with complete obedience to God. The Lord then rose from the dead, defeating sin, the evil one, death, and hell, giving us new life! Praise God! Jesus broke into the Strong Man's house. He overpowered him and bound him. What did he bring out of the strong man's house? Treasure, of course! And that treasure is us!!
