Sticky Note:  Take back what the devil stole

Jesus, the Stronger Man, binds the devil in order to take out of his house what the devil stole.

But Jesus did not bind the strong man by force.  He did it by weakness, allowing himself to be bound and taken to the cross.  

The Kingdom of God is all about the spoiling of the devil's house in every realm of life:  souls, bodies, relationships, governments, economies, etc.  Christians are involved in this work.  But none of these areas will be taken by force, but by love and self-sacrifice, giving up our rights as Jesus did.
