When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Colossians 2:15
Whenever the Romans conquered a town, they removed the leaders and had them parade down the street in chains. This was a public display to let all the citizens know that there was a new boss in town. When Jesus went to the cross and rose from the dead, the Old Law with its regulations, and priests were nailed to the cross. As the curtains in the temple were ripped in two, it signaled a New Covenant of Jesus as Lord. God moved quickly to announce that Jesus was now the way, the truth, and the life. Let's follow Him.
