In Genesis, the Serpent shows up as an accuser and a deceiver.
In the story of Job, Satan shows up as an accuser of both God and Job— allowed to do violence to Job—to deceive Job and friends…
In the story of the Cross—Satan is allowed to enter Judas to do violence to the Son of God— with the result that the Accuser and Deceiver is deceived, exposed, and judged.
In the ultimate twist of fate, the glory of God is revealed and confirmed by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
Where are we in the picture?
