<div class="SSN_title">"OUR VICTORIOUS CHRIST"</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: A fierce battle has been raging since long before man was placed in the garden of Eden. Satan who was one of God's chief angels rebelled against God's authority. When God created the earth and gave it to man Satan sought immediately and successfully to bring it under His dominion by enlisting man to trespass against God's commands.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "ALL TRESPASSES."</div>

<div class="SSN_level3">2. Who are these fortunate people? verses 9-13</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. HOW FORGIVENESS WAS OBTAINED.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. God took on human form and came down to the battle ground to meet the enemy in a decisive battle.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. As Jesus left the upper room with his disciples and began to walk around the Mt. of Olives, every evil force in the universe mustered behind Satan to defeat His purposes.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We who have experienced the pressure of the attack from some of the lesser demons have some small idea what if must have been like for Him to face the combined.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The allies of Christ fell early in the battle the enemy put them to sleep.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Alone He faces onslaught after onslaught until His sweat like blood falls to the earth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Alone he wins the victory and as the sweaty blood begins to dry on His face He walks with the soldiers to the High Priest.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. He is soon to display his victory before the world. Where? On the cross!</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Through the cross the enemy was spoiled.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Weapons were taken away.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Satan with sharp sword of law.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Death with his quiver of arrows.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Sin Satan's armor bearer, shield crushes.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">d. Our enemies totally disarmed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Satan still comes as a roaring lion.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Jesus took all our sin and guilt, He died in our place - now offers liberty to the captive the opening of the prison doors.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. TRIUMPHING OVER THEM.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Roman triumph - greatest honor afforded a general, by the senate.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. On set day gates to city opened - houses decorated.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. First legion entered banners flying trumpets.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Center of parade chariot milk white horses crowned with laurel standing erect. Chained to chariot kings and mighty men he conquered.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Next the booty of war.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">d. Then the rest of the legions.</div>
