"He disarmed all His enemies"

"Satan came against Christ; he had in his hand a sharp sword called the Law, dipped in the poison of sin, so that every wound which the law inflicted was deadly. Christ dashed this sword out of Satan's hand, and there stood the prince of darkness unarmed. His helmet was cleft in twain, and his head was crusched as with a rod of iron. Death also rose against Christ, but the Saviour snatched his quiver from him, emptied out all his darts, cut them in two, and gave him back the feather end, but kept the poisoned barbs from him, that he might never destroy the ransomed. Sin came against Christ! But sin was utterly cut in pieces. It had been Satan's armour-bearer, but its shield was cast away, and it lay dead upon the plain. Satan has nothing left him now wherewith he may mortally wound us, for his sword is broken to shivers. In battles of old, especially among the Romans, after the enemy had been overcome, it was the custom to take away all their weapons and ammunition: afterwards they were stripped of their armour and their garments, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were made to pass under the yoke.Even so has Christ done with sin, death and hell; he has taken their armour, spoiled them of their weapons, and made them pass under the yoke; captivity is led captive.

Christ has gotten back to us our lost inheritance. Paradise is ours, and more. O robber of our race, how art thou spoiled! Didst thou deprive Adam of his riches? The second Adam hath rent them from thee! How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken, and the waster is become desolate. Now shall the needy be remembered, and again shall the meek inherit the earth. 'Then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.'" -Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon
