Satan could not destroy the Son of God. The Son of God had just died on the cross and paid the price for man's sin. We who believe in, cling to, and rely upon Jesus as Redeemer, are made righteous because He took our judgment for unrighteousness and made us righteous. Jesus rose again and defeated death. But the devil? He must destroy the Son's message. He must keep you from letting anyone else know about the freedom in Christ. Satan and his demons want to extinguish the Light in you--dim it, blacken it, block it. He doesn't want you or me to live holy lives. So, today is Monday. The devil is walking about like a roaring lion, stalking us, and looking for the perfect opportunity to devour us. Don't let him fool you. He's out to get you. He's out to destroy your witness...rob you of joy...and tell you the victories you have on Sunday don't count on Monday. Don't believe the lies.

He and his angels were dancing, drinking, and celebrating the death of Jesus. They were probably so drunk they didn't even know what day it was. Satan heard the walls of hell tremble as the stone was rolled away. He cried all day Sunday, then on Monday, he got up and went to work.
