Christ, the Overcomer “The Lamb Shall Overcome” Rev_17:14 Before the days of rapid communication as we have it today, there was a way of transferring news by flare. When Wellington was leading our forces against France, the issue of the battle of Waterloo was to be communicated by the above means from a tower at Winchester. The message seemed to read: “Wellington defeated.” The message cast gloom all over England. But it turned out that the fog and mists had obscured the message, and when it was repeated and more clearly seen, it read: “Wellington defeated the enemy.” What an illustration of Christ overcoming the enemy of our lives. Christ has gotten a sevenfold victory. 1. He has been victorious over the strong enemy, and taken away his goods—Luk_11:22. 2. He has “overcome the world” (Joh_16:33). 3. He has destroyed the works of the Devil—1Jn_3:8. 4. He has spoiled principalities and powers—Col_2:15. 5. He has taken away the power of death—Heb_2:14. 6. He has bruised the serpent’s head—Gen_3:15. 7. He holds the keys of Hades and of death—Rev_1:18.
