Do you sometimes feel “crushed”? In a broken world, it is simply a matter of time before we all feel crushed. This is why we need Lent. Sin is the ultimate source of all the crushing moments we endure. Christ was even crushed for our sins. Yet on Easter morning, Jesus took up his life again and crushed sin, Satan, and death.

Because Jesus fought the battle against our enemy, Satan, as one of us, Jesus won that battle for all of us. He is our perfect substitute. He is our great high priest who puts himself between us and God to set us free from the power of temptation. Even as the devil seethes with rage against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion has already won the eternal victory for us. 

The Bible reading for this message is Hebrews 4:14-16.
