“Ye See That Ye Had Not Power to Save Those Who Had Been Cast into the Fire”
As men filled with the Spirit of God have conducted themselves with decorum and dignity in all ages and among all people with whom they have labored, so those filled with the spirit of the devil have manifested the same ugliness of spirit whenever they have appeared on the scene.
How similar these devils incarnate were to those who mocked the Christ! He too was smitten upon the cheek, gnashed at, and spat upon. He too was artfully questioned by unscrupulous and double-tongued lawyers and priests. He too chose to remain silent rather than dignify their cunning inquisition with answers. And he too was taunted for not having the power to save himself from the agonies of the cross.
