467 -- Knew No Sin, Now No Sin
May 21 (5/21) in Godsfield -- 2 Corinthians 5:21
(For Better or Verse: Each day in 2025 I will begin this Godsfield e-mail with a Bible verse that corresponds with the month (chapter 1-12) and day (verse 1-31) it is sent. This month features a lot of fifth chapters! Those with eyes and ears, let them see and hear.)
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
"Here, let me do that for you," says the father to the little boy as he tries to bait the hook, says the teacher to the student as the password is typed in, says the teen to the old lady as she struggles to carry a package up the stairs.
Says the Lord to you as he goes about the task of reconciling sin. He knew no sin, but He knew about sin and took it on for us, so that we might have no sin in the way of our righteousness.
Not always sure I get it, but I just know I got it, by the grace of God -- good courage, new creation, ambassadorship, reconciliation, a heavenly place.
Love ya,
Paul
