【西 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。【Col 2:15】And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

在十字架上，人以为耶稣被钉住了，被羞辱了，似乎是完全的失败。但十字架是主耶稣公开的凯旋。十字架是耶稣一次过地击败、并羞辱撒但和一切黑暗权势的地方。On the cross, people thought Jesus was nailed down, shamed, and completely defeated. But the cross was actually the Lord Jesus’ public triumph. On the cross, Jesus once and for all defeated and openly shamed Satan and every power of darkness.就像当时罗马军队的元帅凯旋归来，把俘掳困锁像囚犯一样游街示众，展示耶稣基督在宇宙历史上所打赢的、解放人类和恢复万有的决定性的、最伟大战役！It is like a Roman commander returning from battle, leading the captured enemies through the streets in chains—revealing the decisive and greatest victory in cosmic history— the victory through which Jesus Christ liberated humanity and restored all creation.

“掳来”表示敌人原本拥有一些“合法武装和权力”，但当耶稣担当了人类所有的罪，罪的账被付清。当基督从死里复活，就掳掠了黑暗权势所拥有的一切并赐给我们。“Disarmed” shows that the enemy once held certain “legal weapons and authority.” But when Jesus took on Himself the sins of humanity and paid the full debt, then through His resurrection He stripped the powers of darkness of everything they held and passed the victory on to us.

那为什么基督徒还常常失败呢？那是因为我们没有常常在基督里，又回到老亚当，等于又回到肉体、回到过去的模式，就等于回到撒旦的地盘。So why do Christians still fall so often? Because we do not remain in Christ. We slip back into the old Adam—back into the flesh and old patterns—which places us again on the enemy’s territory. 罪就会再次做王，我们也会重新被控告、被捆绑，仍然活在黑暗的权势下。Sin takes the throne again, and we find ourselves accused, bound, and living as though still under the power of darkness.

唯有住在基督里，我们才能真正享受十字架得胜的一切。Only by staying in Christ can we truly live out the victory of the cross.

主耶稣，感谢你在十字架上舍命流血，把一切执政掌权的都掳去，撒旦在你面前已毫无权柄。Lord Jesus, thank You that on the cross You gave Your life and shed Your blood, taking captive every ruler and authority—Satan has no power before You. 帮助我不再听从谎言，不再被控告定罪、恐惧、羞耻、穷乏、仇恨……抓住。教导我住在你里面，学习思想你的十字架道路，教我如何在环境里，顺从你的真理、否定自己里面老亚当的思维模式，脱去旧人，穿上基督。Help me stop listening to lies or being held by accusation, condemnation, fear, shame, lack, or hatred. Teach me to stay in You, to meditate on the way of the cross, and to obey Your truth in every situation—denying the old Adam way of thinking, putting off the old self, and putting on Christ. 

每一天被你真理的圣灵带领、被纠正、责备、光照、回转向你。愿我真信，背起你得胜的十字架，否定自己不是羞耻而是荣耀，就必能经历你掳掠仇敌，向罪和仇敌夸胜的荣耀。见证你在十字架上的得胜是完胜。是我们取之不尽 、用之不竭、得胜一切罪和仇敌的泉源。高唱十字架是我们永远的荣耀。Lead me each day by the Spirit of truth—correcting me, confronting me, shining Your light on me, and drawing me back to You. Help me truly believe that carrying Your victorious cross and denying myself is not shame but glory. Then I will experience Your triumph over the enemy—Your victory over sin and darkness. Let my life testify that the triumph of the cross is absolute and complete—a never-running-dry source of victory over every sin and every enemy. And may I always proclaim with joy: the cross is our everlasting glory.
