Jesus crushes Satan's head and is resurrected

2

Bible verse : Genesis 3:15 (NIV)

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.

3

In the beginning, God created this world with words. And on the sixth day,
He created humans. Adam and Eve, humans created directly by God, had no sin.
So they had a happy time communicating directly with God.

4

But this happy peace did not last long. Eve, deceived by the serpent, Satan, first ate the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden, and then made Adam eat it as well. Man, who was created without sin, broke God's word and ended up sinning. This sin is called original sin.

5

God severely punished Adam and Eve for their sin and kicked them out of the Garden of Eden. Eve, a woman, was greatly punished by the pain of giving birth to her child. Adam, a man, was told to work hard all his life in order to obtain food from the land.

6

The original sin committed by Adam and Eve did not end there.
Everyone born after Adam was born with original sin. Because of this sin, humans received the terrible punishment of death. Everyone born after Adam experienced the punishment of death because of sin.

7

However, God did not abandon humans into the hands of Satan. God established a plan of salvation for humans from the moment they sinned. When God punished Satan for causing Adam and Eve to sin, He already announced His plan of salvation for mankind. That word comes from Genesis 3:15. Let’s read it together.
[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." (Genesis 3:15)]

8

God’s love for saving humans was amazing. God established a plan of salvation to restore humanity from the time Adam and Eve sinned. And he carried out that plan step by step. It is Jesus who was sent to us in human form to complete God's plan of salvation.

9

As prophesied, Jesus came to this earth through the body of Mary, a pure virgin. Jesus, who came to this earth, faithfully fulfilled God's plan of salvation.
Although Satan continued to attack and hinder Jesus' work, he defeated them all and carried out God's plan without wavering.

10

Satan tested Jesus three times when Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days and his body was at its weakest. However, Jesus, the Son of God, did not fall under Satan's temptation. He defeated all temptations and was victorious only with the word of God.

11

Still, Satan did not give up. Just like the serpent did long ago, Satan deceived people into not believing in Jesus. People who were deceived by Satan did not believe in and hated Jesus, the Son of God. They framed Jesus, who was innocent, with false sins, and made him be crucified.

12

Jesus, who was innocent, suffered the punishment of death on the cross. Satan nipped at the heel of Jesus, the woman's descendant. Satan would have been pleased to think that his plan had succeeded. Satan must have been happy, thinking that it was all over because he had put Jesus, the Son of God, in death.

13

The body of Jesus who died on the cross was buried in a tomb prepared by Joseph of Arimathea. Many people who loved Jesus shed tears before his death.
They too were sad, thinking it was all over.

14

But death could not keep Jesus, who is God, in the tomb. On the third day after Jesus went into the tomb, he broke all the power of his death and rose again. Jesus broke the power of death and rose again. He was resurrected again in the flesh by Jesus.

15

The resurrection of Jesus is the complete victory over the death that humans experience because of sin. Because Jesus was resurrected in the flesh, the head of Satan, the king of death, was trampled upon.
God's promise, saying, "The woman's offspring will crush your head," came true.

16

God has planned to save humans from the day they sinned. And he fulfilled that plan by giving his only son to death on the cross and raising him from the dead. Because of this, he opened the path of hope to all humans who were bound by sin and had no choice but to live in fear of death.

17

The hope is that anyone who believes and confesses Jesus as the Messiah can receive eternal life. God, in His mercy, has forgiven us, sinners, through the death of His sinless Son, Jesus. And by raising his Son to life again, he enabled us who were dead to receive true life. God has made us, who were slaves of Satan, children of God! Whenever we think of the resurrection of Jesus, we should think of the amazing grace that God has given us and give thanks.
I hope that all my friends will always rejoice in the resurrected Jesus throughout your lives.
