concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged — the Spirit convicts the world that judgment has already happened: Satan, the ruler of this world, stands condemned. His apparent victory in Jesus' arrest and crucifixion is actually his defeat; the cross exposes and judges the principalities and powers, strips them of their authority. The world thinks itself free under Satan's rule; the Spirit reveals that judgment has already fallen on the world's ruler.
