W. H. GRIFFITH THOMAS once told the story of a poor negro who was a helpless slave to drink. He tried to help him, but he could not get rid of his drunkenness until he was saved. When he was converted there was a wonderful change, and someone said, “So you have got the mastery of the Devil at last?” “No,” said he, “but I have got the Master of the Devil.”
Since Satan is a supernatural being, it takes a supernatural power to overwhelm him. Christ is that power. He is the hope of victory.
