The Great Exchange is The Great Flip
It is finished. Not only did he take your sin and the sin of the whole world. He “became” your sin! And in exchange, he gave you his righteousness. You “became” the righteousness of God!
Put on your royal robes and crown of gold, ladies! You are a daughter of the most-high king!
Rejoice in this. Ponder this mystery. You did nothing to deserve it. “While you were still a sinner, Jesus died for you.” Martin Luther refers to this mystery as the great exchange. The greatest gift of all … for you.
I call it The Great Flip!
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
“Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29. John the Baptist proclaimed these words when he saw Jesus approaching. Today, you can proclaim these same words. He takes your brokenness. He takes your shame. He frees you from the power of death. He doesn’t ask for your permission.
Jesus is a holy thief. He takes away the sin of the world and nailed them to a cross. He did it all for you because he loves you. It is finished. Listen, Jesus, the Word enters into your ears and creates faith.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”
