The Divine Exchange
During Lent, as I contemplate Christ’s death and prepare to celebrate his resurrection, I also take time to reflect on God’s goodness, Jesus’ obedience, and my walk with Christ. Time is also spent in study. Recently I learned about the “divine exchange” that occurred on the cross for me. I learned that Jesus’ death and resurrection was, essentially, a “divine exchange” of benefits from God to me. This exchange, rooted in the forgiveness of sin and everlasting life, contains specific tangible benefits that will follow me, and you, all the days of our life “in the natural” as well as beyond. This is pretty cool stuff; so cool that I wanted to share it with you.
Thank you, God for this divine exchange. Blessings to you this Lenten season, my brothers and sisters in Christ!
