Title: The Savior's Answer to Satanic Opposition (3)
Series: The Best is Yet to Come
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: Zechariah 3:1-10
If you have your Bible, please turn to Zechariah chapter 3, Zechariah, the second to the last book in the Old Testament. We want to talk about "The Savior's Answer to Satanic Opposition."
Now, it has well been said that the Christian life is not a playground; it's a battleground. And we teach our kids that little song, "I'm in the Lord's army.

Forty-plus references to Christ and to His coming in the Book of Zechariah. Jesus and the New Testament writers talk a lot about Zechariah, and they quote from Zechariah. It's a very important book. And today we want to look at Satan and the Lord's answer as it refers to and concerns Satan and Satan's work as he was working in the Old Testament, as he's working in the New Testament, as he's working his devilish work to steal and kill and destroy. Now, the apostle Paul says in Second Corinthians chapter 2, verse 11, "...no advantage be taken of is by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes." The devil is very methodical. He has schemes. And if you don't understand how the devil works, t ...
