If I Were Satan
David Davis
I Peter 5:8
I Peter 5:8 - ‘‘Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:’’
What is God’s great purpose? It is to save people from their sin, and for this purpose He gave His Only-begotten Son to die upon Calvary’s cross. Now the great work of the devil is in trying to keep people from being saved. If I were Satan and wanted ‘to prevent the salvation of people - what would I do? I would do just what he is doing. He is not a fool - he is a creature of great cunning devices and intelligence. He knows how to work on people. He has been busy for centuries and will be busy until the end.
The devil went to church one day and upon seeing his red skin, big horns and cloven feet, all of the people ran from the building in terror. All except for one old man near the front. He didn’t even budge. The devil was intrigued by the man’s apparent disinterest in his hideous appearance. So he strode down the isle to where the old man sat. In a loud voice the devil said, ‘‘PUNY HUMAN, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?’’ Without glancing up the man said, ‘‘I’d guess you’d be the devil?’’ ‘‘I AM LUCIFER, MASTER OF THE SEVEN CIRCLE OF HELL! DO YOU NOT FEAR ME?’’ ‘‘Nope.’’ ‘‘DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I COULD FORCE YOU IN ENDURE TORMENT AND AGONY THAT WOULD GO ON FOR YEARS? ‘‘I suppose you could.’’ ‘‘AND THIS PROSPECT DOESN’T FRIGHTEN YOU?’’ ‘‘not really, no’’ The devil was so surprised that for a moment he forgot to act scary, ‘‘I must admit I’m confused, no one has ever been so calm in the face of such power before. I must know what your secret is!’’ Finally looking up, the old man looks the devil in the eyes and says, ‘‘well... I’ve been married to your sister for 35 years....’’

He does just that!
