The Gospel of Substitution

For He has made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

                                                                            2 Corinthians 5:21

In the beginning, God created Adam in the midst of His finished work. Everything was prepared for him. But the devil told him that He needed to do something to qualify for all the things He has already qualify for. Adam believed the devil, ate the fruit and the curse came. Sickness, poverty and death invade Adam’s life. But God loves the world so much that He sent His one and only Son Jesus Christ, to reverse the effects of Adam decision.

 
Everything that Christ has done for us has been a substitution for us. He was being made poor, so that we may be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9), He was wounded so we can be heal (Isaiah 53:5), and He himself has become sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus received everything that He doesn’t deserve on the cross, so we can receive what He deserves. The judgment of God that supposes to fall on us, Jesus has put it all on Himself. He has broken the wall of unholiness and release the flood of mercy and grace to all mankind.

Beloved, if you are sick today, Jesus has already become your substitution so you could be healed. If you went through financial difficulties in your life or in your family now, Jesus has already pay the price, so you may prosper and find success. If you have fallen into sin, come to the throne of grace boldly, so you will obtain mercy and help (Heb 4:16).

That is the good news my friend, that Jesus, our perfect High Priest, has already finished everything that is require for us to step boldly into His throne room, by being a substitution for us to receive what we deserve. Today Jesus is sitting on the right hand of the Father, the Father is always reminded that Jesus has already paid the price for you and me, and He is more than willing to lead you through whatever you are going through now. Be at rest and see what He will do for you.
