Overcome by the Justice of Christ

(The Dead Christ with Angels by Edouard Manet)

“The devil was overcome by the justice of Christ. In Him the devil found nothing that deserved death, but nonetheless, he slew Him. And it was but just that those debtors that the devil detained should go free since they believed in Him whom, though He was under no bond to him, the devil had slain.”
~St. Augustine
