“Divine Exchange”
Monday, March 25, 2024Key Verse
““For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21
Text — 2Corinthians 5:17-21
Message
A story was story of a man who was sentenced to death in a court of law. On the day of his execution, he was told to say his last prayer. As he was about to do it, someone appeared from the crowd and said he was taking the place of the man to die for him. The condemned man was then set free, while the strange person who appeared, took his place.
This is what Christ came to do for us while we were in sin and destined for hell. Christ came to exchange His life for ours by dying on the cross of Calvary. He does not want us to end up in hell fire. We have a duty not to allow the death of Christ to be in vain in our lives. Surrender your life to Him today so that He can exchange your sins for His righteousness. A sinful child should acknowledge that he is a sinner, repent and confess all his sins to God. Ask for forgiveness and cleansing in the blood of Jesus Christ. Then open his heart wide for Him to come and reign forever.
