Incredibly, we can assign good deeds to bad motives or evil intent when those good deeds are done by those we don't like or hold as our enemies. Jesus faced this same problem. But Jesus reminds us that Satan and his forces already know what most of us intuitively realize when we think about it: you don't advance your own cause by causing division and rivalries. Satan also knows that if he can divide us, he can more easily defeat us. Jesus' point, however, is that even united, with all the evil one's forces intact, he could defeat Satan because he was stronger than Satan. Jesus went into Satan's stronghold and defeated him. With his help, we can, too!
