John 14:30 (NKJV) 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
The ruler of this world is satan. But Jesus says that, even though satan may be the ruler of this world, “He has nothing in Me“!! This means that satan had no foothold on Jesus. He had no power or authority over Him. Ever!
Jesus did what His Father told Him to do, and only that. Nothing more and nothing less.
Jesus’ time to be crucified for our sins had come. He was ready. It is what He came to this earth for.
The devil didn’t do this to Him. It was all part of God’s plan, to set us free from our sin.
The sacrifice that needed to be made had to be pure. It had to be spotless and free of blemishes in order for us to be saved from our sins.
It was all done for one purpose; that we may see the love Jesus has for His Father.
He obeyed His Father and His Father’s will, even to death on the cross.
John 14:31 (NKJV) 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
This is an example for us all, to love the Father so much that we obey His commandments.
We don’t let satan have a foothold over us. We don’t let him play and tease us.
No, we don’t let him have anything over us.
No greed, no jealousy, no hatred, no pride, no anger, no fear, no fornication, no lust, etc.
We must not let these types of things have any part of us.
If they do, we need to get rid of them.
Let the Holy Spirit guide our steps and help us to remove them from our hearts, and to get clean and right with God.
Get to a place where we can say, like Jesus said, satan “has nothing in me.”
