Our Trespasses - Colossians 2:13-15

Colossians 2:13-15 ESV 

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Every trespass is an arrow added in the quiver of the enemy. It is forged and fashioned in the passion of our lives that are opposed to the will of God. Every arrow flies with the power of death on its tip. The aim of the arrow is certain. 

Jesus has emptied the enemy's quiver by nailing our trespasses to the cross. The arrows have turned to ash and the bow is no longer strung against those in Christ. No weapon of the enemy will prosper against those who love the Lord. 

His triumph is complete. The power of the enemy has been vanquished.
