My wife and I were discussing the use of the word 'enmity' as used between the seed of the woman and Satan.

We were wondering how Christ could hate even Lucifer, when Christ is the epitome of pure love? One answer came from looking up the word 'enmity' and discovering it has another meaning the fits the scripture very well.

Enmity also means "opposition." Christ certainly opposed Satan's designs and Satan opposes Christ's purposes. So I can feel comfortable with the thought that Christ does not feel loathing, despising, or hatred in His pure heart. But He certainly knows His role to provide the standard of Love and Purity, Faithfulness and Devotion, Obedience and Divine Submission, that Satan exists to oppose.

I like that meaning of the word 'enmity' -- opposition.
