Powerful Words

One of the most powerful words I have ever heard:

“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 Cor 5:21).

Jesus Christ was made every one of our sins. Regardless of what you think, He was made your sins. You can beat yourself to death with all the different ways to be reconciled to God, but Jesus was MADE your sins. 

The day Jesus was made our sins, He became the way the truth and the life! When He took our sins upon Himself, the Levitical priesthood lost its job. The Old Covenant became obsolete.  When He was made our sins, the foreshadowing was done and finished its purpose. Jesus fulfilled all; and is and will be all in all. 

No more priests. No more sacrifices. No more circumcision. No more uncircumcision. No more bond or free. No more Jew or Gentile. No more unclean food. No more memory of sins every year. No more conscience of sin. No more under the law. No more signs other than Jonah in the belly. No more man interceding for us. Jesus is our everything, both great and small. Do you put all your faith in Jesus? Is He your all in all, or are you obligated to other ways?

Worship Him. He is worthy. Trust Him. Man will always fall short. 

I don’t care what you run after for answers, Jesus will always be my answer. I don’t care how many voices cry from all corners of the earth saying, “Yeah, but.” Jesus is my only hope. He was made my sin, and He made me the righteousness of God. No one else did that for me. Therefore, Jesus is King and has all of my gratitude and thanksgiving. 

No, I will not share that worship with man-made systems. 

Jesus sheds His love abroad in our hearts. He tells us to preach His Gospel to everyone and to love our neighbor as ourselves.

To all the people around the world that are disgusted and discouraged with fights and divisions in the churches: Jesus was made your sins, the church wasn’t. Worship Jesus. We are  to be loyal to Christ more than man. 

If Jesus makes you one with the Father, what more do you want? 

Nothing can separate us from that love! 

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil 4:8).
