Jesus teaches through a parable that he has ultimate power. Jesus attacks Satan who also has power. Jesus overpowers Satan and utterly defeats him. Thus, Jesus rescues people from Satan’s evil rule. Satan never wins.
Addressing the religious leaders, Jesus also teaches that a person is either against him or for him. Neutrality does not exist. The one who does not intentionally support Jesus opposes him. Is a person who goes to church, but does nothing in the kingdom of God neutral? No.
I was captive in Satan’s dungeons. Jesus defeated Satan and rescued me. He brought me into his fold and made me a citizen of the kingdom of God. Jesus always wins. Why would I return to the dungeon?
