8. Entering the Exchange

On the cross God reconciled the world to Himself. The word reconciled means to buy back, or to exchange one thing for something else. Jesus took our sin, sickness and disease, death and suffering; He offers us the opportunity to take His righteousness, life, health and healing. Paul said, we are ambassadors for Christ; we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God, 2 Cor. 5:20. Faith in the work of the cross: death, burial, and resurrection, is how we enter into Christ and participate in reconciliation. Join me this week and step into this great exchange where you experience what Jesus deserves, because He experienced what you deserve.
