In addition to taking the punishment for sin on the cross, what else did Jesus's death accomplish? In this sermon on Christ's victory on the cross, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that Jesus's death was not only a passive act of receiving God's wrath, but also an active sign of victory.

First, Jesus defeated Satan. He put him to shame on the cross. Second, Jesus defeated death. No longer does death reign over the children of God. And third, Jesus defeated sin. While Christians still sin, they are no longer under the power of sin. As a result, the whole universe is affected by Jesus's death. Jesus dealt with and removed all enemies against His people.
