Expliqué aux enfants
Imagine you're playing a game where there's an unfair referee who cheats to make sure you lose. But then another player comes in and beats the referee fair and square, proving he was just cheating all along. That's kind of what Jesus is talking about here—Satan was like that referee, but now he’s judged and defeated.
