And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed…and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; He shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel. – Genesis 3:14,15
My brethren, the Lord has not only illustrated to every one His attributes in the great plan of redemption, but He has been pleased to show how the goodness of His nature triumphs over all the power of evil. Satan seemed to have gained a great advantage over God when he poisoned our race with his venom; the advantage was but temporary, and it ended in his greater defeat. Little did he know that by his craft and malice he was preparing a black background for divine love to lay its lovely tints upon that they might be the more conspicuous. How art thou baffled in thy dark designs, O Lucifer! How art thou vanquished, O thou enemy! How art thou spoiled, O thou spoiler! How art thou led captive, O captivity! Thou thoughtest that man would be thy weak and willing instrument with which to show thy spite against the Most High, but lo, man, whom thou didst disgrace and dishonor, triumphs over thee on God’s behalf. The Seed of the woman whom thou didst beguile has been wiser than thou; His bruised heel has been the breaking of thy head; while He hath all things under His feet, all sheep and oxen, yea, and the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the sea. The man Christ Jesus is Lord of all, and at His name all creatures bow the knee. Even the devils are subject unto Him, and evil is overruled for good. See how the Lord “frustrateth the token of the liars, and maketh diviners mad.” Let the Lord be praised for ever and ever. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
