Colossians 2:14-15 (CEV) Contemporary English Version
At the Cross. That's where it happened. That's where Christ defeated ALL powers and forces. The King James reads that He "made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them..."
Where?!? At the Cross... You know as Christians we're fond of spouting that satan was defeated at the Cross. But do we know it? Do we believe it? Do we act like it?
Jim Mackey said something that was utterly profound in its most basic Truth and here it is. "We're not waiting to see who wins - We already know who wins - God!" He then painted a word picture of today's mindset - two forces running neck and neck, and we act like we're waiting to see who will be triumphant!
The Truth is - Jesus said, "It is finished!" No sequel. No do-over. No to-be-continued.
Prayer:
Father,
Forgive us for not walking in the Truth of Your Triumph. Illuminate Your Truth to us. Help us to know it in our knower and walk in it. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
