Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
JESUS’ VICTORY IS FOR OUR SALVATION (PART-2)
‘… He made a public spectacle of them…’ Colossians 2:15 NIV
Today’s Insight
Can you imagine the victory laps that Satan and his
demonic host were doing the day Jesus was crucified? They really thought that
they had stopped the greatest mission in history. They were convinced they had
ended the salvation plan of the Father. Lying in a cold dark tomb was their
evidence – God’s only Son, broken, bruised, dead.
But the deceiver was deceived. As Philip Yancey
writes, ‘In the most ironic twist of all history, what Satan meant for evil,
God meant for good.
Jesus’ death bridged the gap between a perfect God
and a fatally-flawed humanity. On Good Friday God defeated sin, routed death,
triumphed over Satan, and got his family back… He took the worst deed of
history and turned it into the greatest victory… Between the cross and the
empty tomb hovers the promise of history: hope for the world, and hope for each
of us who lives in it.’
Paul writes, in Colossians 2, that on the cross Jesus cancelled the
record of wrongs against us, nailing them up. And He disarmed the devil and all
the spiritual rulers and authorities at his command, nailing them down. He
comprehensively triumphed over Satan. Now who has the victory?
Application:
As you celebrate with God’s people today, keep
Jesus’ victory over your sin and over Satan at the front of your mind.
Parallel verses: 1 Cor 15, Matt 28:1-10, Luke 24:1-12 (Easter
Sunday)
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word today. Lord thank
you for your sacrifice on the cross, because on the cross you nail them and
disarmed the authority of the enemy who is the devil and strip him off of the
key of death and life. Lord thank you for bringing us into Victory over the
enemy and sin and death. Lord empower us to walk blameless and to focus or commit
our lives in serving you for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
