The Impeccable Jesus Christ


For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

He bore our burdens. 
He participated in our pain.
He died our death.
He paid our price. 
Isaiah poetically speaks, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
None of which did He merit. Yet not a selfish deed. Not one wayward thought. Not a single word of disgust. But the righteous substituted for the unrighteous. Like a lamb, He submitted His life as if He had no power to do otherwise. He died as innocent as He was born. He who knew no sin became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God.
