1. WHAT SATAN THOUGHT

2. Satan, because of his delusional, prideful, self-gratifying personality, thought the conviction and crucifixion of Jesus Christ would satisfy his scheme to sustain suffering and stop salvation.

3. Satan thought that putting a crown of thorns on Jesus’ head would surely stop Him from thinking like God. Satan thought that whipping Jesus until His body was severely bruised and torn would surely stop Him from looking like God. Satan thought that nailing the hands of Jesus to the cross would surely stop Him from doing the works of God. Satan thought that nailing the feet of Jesus to the cross would surely stop Him from walking in the way and will of God.

4. Satan thought that mocking Jesus on the cross would surely stop Him from displaying the grace and mercy of God. Satan thought that piercing Jesus in the side would surely stop His heart from beating for, believing in, and being the love of God. Satan thought that burying Jesus in a grave sealed by a stone and secured by soldiers would surely stop Him from getting up or getting out ever again.

5. Satan Thought Wrong!!!

6. The crown of thorns surely atoned for mankind’s sinful thoughts. The bruised and torn body surely atoned for mankind’s sinful image. The nailed hands surely atoned for mankind’s sinful works. The nailed feet surely atoned for mankind’s sinful walk. The mocking surely atoned for mankind’s sinful display. The piercing surely atoned for mankind’s sinful heart. The burial surely atoned for mankind’s sinful death.

7. What Satan Thought Would Lock Mankind Into Suffering Led Mankind To Salvation.

8. The conviction and crucifixion of Christ was a plan of salvation that was divinely designed and designated by God to restore mankind to a pre-beguilement relationship.

9. WHAT SATAN THINKS NEVER MATTERS AND MEANS NOTHING!

10. WHAT GOD THINKS ALWAYS MATTERS AND MEANS EVERYTHING!!!

11. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11- Modern King James Version)
