1Sa 17:43-44 | KingComments | STEP | Goliath’s amazement is great when he sees David. He experiences it as a great insult that a boy, without armor and weapons, seemingly helpless, comes up to him to fight against him. The curses descend upon David, slung from the big mouth of a demonic man. The weakness of the cross of the Lord Jesus is the victory over satan. Satan is overcome by His humiliation to death. To be defeated by the cross has been unthinkable for the devil and it is still for many today. Yet the foolishness of the cross is the only way to salvation.
