歌罗西书 2:15 既将⼀切执政的、掌权的掳来，明显给众⼈看，就仗着⼗字架夸胜。(现代标点和合本)
Colossians 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (NKJV)
藉着基督的死与复活，基督彻底废除了⼀切执政的、掌权的——就是魔⻤和它的⿊暗势⼒，并在⼗字架上公然羞辱他们，并明显给众⼈看，就仗着⼗字架夸胜了。弟兄姊妹，今天我们⾯对的魔⻤已经被打败了。失去了权柄，它还能做些什么呢？它唯⼀能做的就是撒谎和欺骗。它来欺骗你，使你相信你是贫穷的，是缺乏的，是软弱的，是满⾝病痛的。但，我们身为神的⼉⼥，我们⾏事为⼈是凭着信⼼，不是凭着眼⻅，也不是凭着感觉或环境。 耶稣已经死在⼗字架上，埋葬，且从死⾥复活。魔⻤已经被彻底打败了！凭借这得胜， 耶稣重新夺回了地上的权柄，并且升天，回 到天⽗的右边——祂的使命完成了！那证据在哪⾥？祂那被钉痕的⼿就是祂在⼗架上的 完⼯就是那最有⼒的证据！但问题是：耶稣的⼯作就到此为⽌了吗？还没有。 五旬节那天，当圣灵降临，带来了两种权柄 ——天上和地上的权柄。祂把这权柄赐给了我们。哈利路亚！
Through His death and resurrection, Christ disarmed all principalities and powers—the devil and his forces—demonstrating His triumph over them publicly on the cross. Brothers and sisters, the devil we face today is a defeated foe. Without authority, what can the devil really do? He can only lie and deceive. He deceives you into believing you are poor, that you are in lack, that you are weak, or that you have health problems. But as children of God, we walk by faith, not by sight. We do not rely on our feelings or circumstances. Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose again. The devil has been completely defeated. With this victory, Jesus reclaimed authority over the earth and returned to His Father in heaven— His mission accomplished. Where is the proof? His nail-pierced hands are the living proof of His finished work on the cross. But was Jesus’ work finished there? Not yet. On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came, He brought with Him both authorities—the authority over the heavens and the authority over the earth. And He has given that authority to us. Hallelujah!
