Scripture:
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
Jesus never sinned. Yet He took our sin upon Him and for the first time, was separated from God the Father. All this was so that we could become righteous and restored to God. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand this in a deeper way. Ask Him to make this personal for you. What great love has the Father bestowed upon us!
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Your love for me is beyond my understanding. Forgive my ignorance of Your love that manifests itself as indifference or ingratitude.
Petition: For us to be brought into a greater understanding of God’s love for us and the sacrifice He made that we could not.
