Colossians 2:15 And having disarmed the
powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over
them by the cross.
How did
the Lord Jesus put Satan to shame? By shaking off from Himself the powers of
evil as He rose from the dead. Resurrection implies a realm beyond the touch of
death.
Men die,
animals and plants die; all living things are subject to death. There is no
exception, for death has spread like a net over this entire world. It has
entered into every living thing.
But here
is a Man who came out of death, for death could not retain Him. The life we
receive at the time of new birth is this resurrection life. This life has no
relationship whatever to Satan. Always remember that his attacks on us can
never exceed his attacks on our Lord at the cross. There all his efforts were
exerted and all proved of no avail. He was overcome, and from that day he is
the defeated foe. We give thanks to God because He has given us the victory in
Christ.
