><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><> Paul's words in <Colossians 2:15> speak of the "principalities and powers" as a personification of the hostile forces in the world which have conquered men and women and hold them as prisoners of war. There was no hope of successful resistance against them unti Christ confronted them. It looked as if they had conquered Him too, but on the cross He conquered death itself, along with all other hostile forces. In His victory all who believe in Him have a share: "Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" <1 Cor. 15:57>. Sin is also viewed as estrangement, or alienation, from God. In this case, the saving work of Christ includes the reconciliation of sinners to God. The initiative in this reconciling work is taken by God: "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" <2 Cor. 5:19>. God desires the well-being of sinners; so He sends Christ as the agent of His reconciling grace to them <Col. 1:20>.
