« But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When He was hung on the cross, He took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” »
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;
16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
We should thank God for the victory at Calvary.
The fiercest battle in history is the one fought by our Lord Jesus at Calvary in which He defeated sin, Satan and death.
The battleground was set in Genesis 3:1-15 and the seed of the woman finally crushed the head of the old serpent and declared, “It is finished”, as He paid the supreme price (John 19:30).
There are numerous blessings from the sacrifice at Calvary.
- The first is deliverance from the curse of the law.
The Law came as a schoolmaster, according to Galatians 3:10,13,24–25.
The law is the weapon that our accuser – the devil, uses to condemn us, according to Revelation 12:10 GWT which says
« Then I heard a loud voice in Heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, power, kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Messiah have come. The one accusing our brothers and sisters, the one accusing them day and night in the presence of our God, has been thrown out »
- Another beautiful thing about the battle at Calvary is that it brings the blessings of Abraham to the entire world.
The blessings that had been the exclusive inheritance of the Jews became available to the gentiles also, according to Galatians 3:14 which says
« Christ did this in order that the blessing which God promised to Abraham might be given to the Gentiles by means of Christ Jesus, so that through faith we might receive the Spirit promised by God »
Thus, the blessings of Calvary have given us victory over sin, over the devil and over death.
- However, even beyond that, the events at Calvary gave us the right to call the Almighty God “Father”.
Beloved, the only way to access the blessings of the Victory at Calvary is to surrender your life completely to Jesus Christ.
Obeying all His commandments demonstrates that you truly love Him, and this qualifies you to access the blessings of Calvary.
Prayer focus – Father, please let all the blessings of the victory at Calvary be mine today, in Jesus’ name.
