The Conflicts and Ultimate Victory of Jesus Christ
Throughout Scripture, there is a consistent theme of conflict culminating in Jesus Christ's ministry. His life was marked by various conflicts: from early attempts on His life to temptations, battles with demons, and conflicts with religious leaders. However, the ultimate conflict was with Satan himself. Despite being in enemy territory, Jesus aimed to build His church, ensuring that the gates of hell will not prevail. His mission was to destroy the works of the devil, leading to His ultimate victory as depicted in John's vision.
