HAPPENINGS BEHIND THE TOMB

  Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.   When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through him; Col 2: 14-15(AMP)

 
He died in shame but arose in glory and majesty. He arose in triumph and in a glorified body.

Our Jesus, was crucified, he died and was buried in a borrowed tomb. And on the third day he arose. The whole process of his life on earth, the things he suffered, the trial, the scourging, the crucifixion and the death were all to fulfill a purpose in the scheme of things for the father God.

Shall we now turn our attention to him as he spent those awful and yet profiting hours behind the tomb in the grave?

Whereas the devil thought he had finished him at the cross, God had the master plan to accomplish his eternal purposes for us. The devil might be saying, he has finally silenced him who thought, he could interfere with his hold upon the world; this man who for these few years on earth has destroyed so much of my work. I am glad it is over with him now.

Little did he know that God was only pushing him gradually to his own doom. It must have been very disturbing for him then, when all of a sudden, he saw him in his territory demanding that he gives him, Jesus, the keys that are rightfully his.

The word of God says of him “and having spoiled principalities, and powers he made a show of them   openly, triumphing over them in it”.

 Praise God!! Eventually a stronger man has come on to the scene. He has actually dealt with Satan, who has been our fear and dread all our life. The stronger man Jesus has even made a public show of him, parading him before us all, and humiliating him so that we can be sure that in Christ Jesus, Satan is no match

This is what God wants to drive home to us in his word. That you and I are more than conquerors in him Jesus. But it is only for;

“He who dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the shadow of God Almighty” Ps 91:1

Are you sure the secret place is your hiding place?

Lord open our eyes that we may see what we truly are in Jesus ;that we may see that we are no match for the evil one when  we  stay glued to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
