He became my sin!
I was thinking, with the Easter season coming up, how often we forget what Jesus really did on the cross that day when He hung and died and later rose from the dead! JESUS became my sin. It says in I Peter 2:24 who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree. It also says in Isaiah 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. Every sin, sickness, and disease of the entire human race entered into the physical body of Jesus Christ. God put all of our sin on His son Jesus for us. Jesus didn't deserve that. He was the only human that ever lived a perfect life and we certainly didn't deserve it. We were all full of sin and evil. Jesus took what we deserved...and we freely can receive what He deserved. Jesus paid the total price for all of our sin. He took it and the punishment for it by going to hell and raising again so that WE DON"T EVER HAVE TO! He was even forsaken by His own father. Jesus said in Mark 15:34 when hanging on the cross My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Jesus did that so that I would never have to be forsaken by God. JESUS paid a HEAVY price for our sin and He finished it once and for all. Once we decide to accept what He did for us on the cross and receive Him into our life and make Him Lord, we receive the benefit of everything He did on the cross. I have been made free from sin, free from sickness, free from disease,free from poverty.... free from being forsaken by my father God..and every other by product of sin. I am a free child of God. Let's not forget even for a minute what Jesus did on the cross for us....it where are freedom is at!
