2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Reflection
We finally come to The Great Exchange. Jesus became your sin! In return, you get the righteousness from God – sinlessness represented by the life and death of Jesus Christ!
This is the only truly GREAT EXCHANGE! We desperately need this exchange. But before we can accept it, each of us (individually) needs to realize that we need this exchange. Until we humbly and “poor in spirit” accept the fact that we can’t do this on our own, we can’t accept it. But when we do accept this exchange – our sinfulness for Christ’s righteousness – we truly receive the GREAT EXCHANGE.
Have you accepted this great exchange? If so, what does that mean to you?
If you have not accepted this great exchange, what in your life prevents you from doing that?
