The Blackest Place on Earth

In Mark 3 Jesus states that He is stronger than Satan. Elsewhere in the Bible Jesus' coming is described as being for the purpose of 'destroying the work of the devil'. So, with that backdrop, this quote is especially invigorating:

“It is in His death that He destroys the wolf, so that the blackest place on earth, where the Son of God is crucified, becomes the place where the blackest of evil is subdued by the love of God and made to minister to the redemption of the world. By the Cross all our evil is taken under the command of the sacrifice of Christ and made to work together for good to those who love Him, and who hear and follow the voice of the Good Shepherd, not only because by His death our sin and guilt are removed, but because He who died lives again, and is able to make the very grave of mankind to become the cradle of new and abundant life.” - T.F. Torrance
