The Triumphant Christ

Colossians 2:13-15

"When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him."

Here, Paul explains the method and manner in which He saved us. He saved us by canceling out our debts by dying on the cross and He did so triumphantly. He displays His glory in His complete victory over death and sin. He does not shy away from displaying it. He is victorious, and He will make all the world see His power and glory. Let us proclaim this triumphant Christ!
