I have heard lessons about victory in the cross before, but the other day I noticed something that had always been right before my eyes. There are four “V” letters at the angles of the cross. That is an obvious sermon outline. Victory over sin, victory over death, victory over hopelessness, victory over Satan could be among the topics. Just pick any four and start preaching. Just when it looked like Satan had won, Jesus gave us the victory. Likewise, when it seems that life is getting us down, we should remember that we are already victorious. Just look at the cross.
