Christ, the Messiah, is the only One who can comfort us. No one else offers the gift of the atonement, which is the ultimate comfort. Why, He asks rhetorically, are we afraid of mortal men, who have no more power than we do, and fail to rely on God, who has infinite power? If we have faith in God, our enemies do not stand a chance against the power of the All Mighty. While many people experience temporal oppression in many forms, we all face spiritual oppression from the enemy of our souls. Yet just as God can deliver people from political, economic, social and other forms of oppression, so He can deliver us all from spiritual oppression of sin and guilt. We do not need to fear Satan, for we can be confident that Christ has overcome the world and the devil who reigns over it. Satan’s fury is no match for God’s love.
