We Get the Blessing, He Gets The Curse
Dear Champions,
The short excerpt is by Tim Keller, and the Scripture is 2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Him sin who knew no sin so that in Him we might the righteousness of God.
When you and I disobey the law we deserve the curse. Jesus obeyed the law, and He deserved the blessing. But you get His blessing, and He gets our curse. He takes the curse for our life on the cross, and when you receive Him by faith you get the blessing for His.
If you see that Jesus did this, then you will know that this is the love that you have been looking for your whole life. No professional proclaim or family, friend, or spousal love could possibly satisfy you like that. All of those other kinds of love will let you down, and this one will not.
Do you feel like God is abandoning you? If He didn't abandon you at the cross, then why would He abandon you now?
Champions, have a great week!-David Vining
