God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
There once was a girl who had a little brother. This girl was one who would always do her best to do the right thing and pretty much stayed out of trouble. But her little brother was one who would stay in trouble all the time. He made some really bad decisions. The girl loved her little brother so much. She hated that he was in trouble with his parents and she tried to talk to him and get him to make better decisions, but he really was stuck in his ways. Finally, the girl decided she would try to make things easier for him. The next time he made a bad decision, she waited for her parents to punish him and when the time came, she said no I did it. She told them to blame her, and she would take the punishment. The little brother saw just how much his sister loved him. He went to her and told her how sorry he was and that he was going to do better. The little boy found out just how much his sister loved him. She was willing to take his punishment. He believed his sister was the best sister ever. She helped him to see he could do better because she cared about him.
Now, I can tell you this. My brother would never have taken the blame for me, but there is someone who did. We all have a Savior who was willing to take on all of our sin so that we could be forgiven. So much so that Jesus died on the cross that we could be forgiven. I thank God above that He raised Him from the dead, so we could have the true hope of eternal life. Our Savior lived a perfect life. He was Holy, sinless, and undefiled. Yet, he took all our sin upon him and was the perfect sacrificial Lamb of God. When we listen to His call and repent of our sins, confess Him as Lord, and believe Jesus was raised from the dead, WE ARE SAVED. Jesus took our place on that cross. This truly proves His love for us. We are saved by grace through our faith in Christ and Christ alone. PRAISE THE LORD!!
