“and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”
Colossians 2:15 KJV
In Christ dying mankind’s death, He disarmed every possible claim of accusation against the human race and so made it a public spectacle of every rule and authority in God’s brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Him. The voice of the Cross will never be silenced and the horror of it is now the eternal trophy of God’s triumph over sin! The Cross stripped religion of its authority to manipulate mankind with guilt. Every accusation lost its leverage to blackmail the human race with condemnation and shame! The religious façade that disguised the law of works as a means of defining a person’s life, was openly defeated. The dominance of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was ended. He stripped all the spiritual tyrants, all principalities, all authority, every definition of dominion under the fall, every dynamic influence and government structure in society - and brought it under the dominion of grace where the Christ-life rules. We are redeemed into glory! Worthy is the Lamb!
