DIVINE EXCHANGE
Text: 2 Corinthians 5:19-21
By: Adeaga O. Favour
In the movie, life for life, there was a twin who gave his all to God, but his brother was the opposite. While the committed brother would preach to his twin, the twin in return would molest him until a day he went for a night party, got drunk and eventually killed with blood stains on his cloth.
The police went after him and when he got home, he managed to explain to his brother and he, who already knew if his brother died would go to hell, had to exchange his clean dress for the brother's stained cloth so that when the policemen came, he was taken for the murderer. At the court ruling, he was sentenced to death.
This paints the exact picture of what Christ came to do for you and me, he knew if we die in our sins we would perish and so, he took our place, paid the price that we may live. The ransome has been paid but the gift of salvation has to be received.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
Christ took your place in death so you can live and enjoy abundant life.
PRAY:
Thank you Jesus for the price you paid for me, I receive eternal life afresh in your name.
