Messiah Yeshua is our High Priest, and through His death on the cross, He subdued our enemies—sin, death, and the power of the devil—under our feet.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the certificate of debt that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; and having disarmed principalities and powers, He made an open spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it [the cross]. Col 2:13-15
