“There He broke the arrows of the bow, The shield and sword of battle” (Psalms 76:3)  

Our Redeemer's glorious cry on the cross was, “It is finished,”. It signaled the death-blow of all the adversaries of His people, the breaking of “the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword of battle." Christ used His cross as an anvil, and His sacrifice as a hammer, pulverizing our sins, those poisoned "arrows of the bow"; trampling every indictment, and destroying every accusation. 

 Satan’s arrows are snapped, and his shield broken like pottery! Behold, Christ grabs the sword of Satanic power, and shatters it across His knee, as a man breaks a stick, and casts it into the fire. Beloved, sin can no longer be turned into a fiery dart to kill you. The sword of condemnation can no longer disable you, for the punishment for your sin was endured by Christ, a full atonement was made for all your iniquities by your blessed Savior. 

 Who now accuses? Who now condemns? Christ died and rose again. He’s emptied the quivers of hell, quenched every fiery dart, broke the head of every arrow of wrath; the ground is strewn with the splinters and relics of the weapons of Hell's warfare, which remain visible to you only to remind you of your former danger, and of your great deliverance. Sin has no more dominion over you. Christ made an end of it, and put it away forever. 

"O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. Talk ye of all the wondrous works of the Lord, ye who make mention of His name, keep not silence, neither by day, nor when the sun goeth to his rest. Bless the Lord, O my soul".
