The Divine Exchange
Mitch Cariaga
"But you know that He appeared so that He might take away our sins. And in Him is no sin." I John 3:5
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." I Peter 3:18
Question:
How did Jesus become sin when He had never sinned?
Answer:
He received our sin!
Question:
How did we become righteous when we were born sinful?
Answer:
We received Jesus’ righteousness.
God gave our sin to Jesus and Jesus’ righteousness to us.
Among Bible scholars, this is known as The Divine Exchange!!!
From the point of view of a businessman, it doesn’t seem like a good deal. From the point of view of a stock trader, I wouldn’t take that trade.
But still, God made The Divine Exchange!
Why?
