The Ultimate Victory
SCRIPTURE READING: Colossians 2:13–15
KEY VERSE: Romans 8:11
If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
The cross of Jesus Christ satisfied God’s holy justice by paying the price of sin—death—and it also was the cosmic battleground where Christ won the ultimate victory.
Nineteenth-century Scottish commentator John Eadie wrote, “Our redemption is a work at once of price and of power—of expiation and of conquest. On the cross was the purchase made, and on the cross was the victory gained. The blood which wipes out the sentence against us was there shed, and the death which was the death blow of Satan’s kingdom was there endured.”
Theologian F. F. Bruce added, “As He was suspended there, bound hand and foot to the wood in apparent weakness, they imagined they had Him at their mercy, and flung themselves upon Him with hostile intent . . . But He grappled with them and mastered them.”
The Christian life is a victorious one. We are triumphant over the power of death, sin, the law, hell, and Satan because the Conqueror, Jesus Christ, has defeated and humiliated them all. Jesus won at Calvary. At the very moment He appeared to lose to the cruelty and prejudice of men, He vanquished every foe.
Master, thank You for victory over death, sin, the law, hell, and Satan. Jesus defeated and humiliated them all. He won the victory for me at Calvary. I praise You!
