Satan knew about the love of God.

Satan knew about the wrath of God,

but he hadn't heard a word about the grace of God.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about the spiritual secret weapon

that caught the devil by surprise.

God taking the penalty for man so that it can still love sinners without compromising its nature.

Or to put it another way, Satan with AIDS by Grace.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical

teachings from the archives of Dr Tony Evans.

There's nothing like the element of surprise to change the course of a battle.

In today's message, Dr Evans explains how God use that tactic to secure our salvation and equip us to fight spiritual battles successfully.

Let's listen in. I want you to see three things about Jesus today. First of

all I want you to see the person of Jesus, then I want you to understand the payment of Jesus, and then I want you to come to live under the position of Jesus.

When Adam's sinned, God told the Serpent, this battle's not over

because the woman is going to have a seed. She's going to give birth to a baby. And this baby, when this baby comes

on the scene, this baby will crush your head. God could have crushed Satan, but he didn't want to crush him, he wanted to embarrass him and then crush him.

And he says, I'm going to crush you with something less than you, and it's going to be the seat of the woman.

You see, God had to have a man, but it had to be the kind of man who wouldn't do what Adam did. It would have to be the kind of man who went face with the devil one on one

and face with the power of God could choose right. What we needed was a God kind of man. So what God did was he sent his son, born of a woman,

in order to reclaim the Dominion, hand it back over to the angel Satan and bring it back to mankind.

Now Satan is no dummy.

When Jesus is being born, he lets out all the stops if you remember the Christmas story
