Was Christ defeated? No, never. At every moment His life was victorious. In poverty, on the Cross, before Pilate, betrayed by Judas, alone at Gethsemane, having stones hurled at Him, abandoned, even doubting Himself - no matter, at every moment His life was victorious.
We cannot look at appearances or the outer circumstances but we must look inwards to find the victory there - whether it is in endurance or humility or faith or whatever sustains us from within - for there a million trials by fire are answered from a deep pool of strength we will find in our darkest moments, as did our Lord who led the way and sustains us.
