Jesus's ministry on earth had a lot to do with us that have come after. Yes, he healed people that followed him and his teachings. He died for their sins. But it wasn't just for those that were around in his day. They were for all of us as well. The things he taught them, and the miracles he preformed for them were lessons for us, so that we can have all that they had in their time.
In fact, did you know that Jesus prays for us?
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2:1
An advocate is someone that stands in for someone that can't speak for themselves. He pleads that persons case. He pleads our case
Satan our enemy tries to accuse us before God. But we have nothing to fear because Jesus is always praying for us. Romans 8:33-34. His prayers for us are more powerful then anything that Satan can try to throw up against us. We should always remember that he was defeated at the cross of Jesus and one day will be thrown into the lake of fire.
I heard one time, a preacher say something to the effect, "When Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future."
Indeed.
There is now, no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2
There then should be no fear in us. Because there is no condemnation for those of us that are in Jesus Christ and knowing that he is always praying to the Father for us. Don't let Satan get on your case. Instead be thankful to God that Jesus is praying for us and then remind Satan of where he is headed.
