Just a word of caution…ONLY FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SERMON WILL SATAN SPEAK!
At last! It is finished! It has been a long hard struggle, but the results have made it all worthwhile. My labor, my hardest work is now complete. Many people assisted me in this effort.
Judas, I conclude you overdid things a bit! You brought weapon-wielding Romans soldiers and police from the Chief Priests and Pharisees to arrest Him. You didn’t need that much-armed support. He put up no resistance, attempted no fight. Nevertheless, you did get the job done. It is truly amazing that with so many armed men none of His followers was hurt or even killed.
Peter…if I were the type to render gratitude, and I am not!, I would have to send some your way. You almost had even me convinced that you were not one of His followers…that you didn’t know Him.
I was beginning to wonder if the authorities were going to muddle things up…what that Annas, Caiaphas and Pilate, shuffling Him back and forth among themselves.
I thought my scheme was in jeopardy when a choice was presented between releasing Him or the bandit Barabbas. But you members of the Crucify Him Mob did your part. For some time I had been trying to think of a way to get Barabbas out of prison and operating in the city again.
At one point, I was afraid Pilate would refuse to hand Him over for crucifixion. If he had tried to release Him one m ore time, I would have been forced to intervene personally. Fortunately that was not necessary.
I followed, watching Him, as He made the journey to Golgotha. I was there when the points of the nails penetrated His wrists and feet. I viewed His very ascent as the beam was raised. What a moment!
Hours later, at long last, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. I noticed they didn’t break His legs like they did to the others.
I took no chances…I waited to see what would happen after one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear. When I saw the water and the blood, I knew He was finished.
Looking back, on the morning and afternoon, although events did not unfold precisely according to my plan, I feel satisfied with the results.
That was certainly a Good Friday for me!
Darkness has won. I have put out the great light. The world is now mine! You are mine!
He is dead! My plans can soon be put into full swing. My people will shortly initiate the next phrase.
But, OOOHHH (yawning)…that can wait for several days…I am tired. Vanquishing Him took nearly all my strength. The creator rested after He fashioned the world, and I will rest now that I have begun refashioning it in my own image.
IU think I will just crawl back into my hole a d sleep for a few days…until the first day of the week, at least.
That day will mark the beginning of a new future for earth and all its inhabitants.
A new sovereign will rise.
I can hardly wait! (Yawn)
KNOCK…………………….
Who’s there!
