satan
Jesus is usually pictured as a gentle lamb, or a suffering servant, which are true & biblical images. But this is incomplete. The resurrected Messiah is powerful & victorious, a conquering hero who has crushed the head of the enemy.
From the very beginning Satan is depicted as a false accuser. The N.T. Greek word for “devil” is “diabolos,” which means slanderer. When people slander each other, as is so common in our world, they are being Satanic.
Evil is not just a word for things we decide we don’t like. Evil is real. It is undeniable. It is personal and powerful. Its existence points us to what is Good, and to God, who is the ultimate source of Good & our only hope for victory over evil.
