THE EXCHANGE

THE EXCHANGE.

HALLELUYAH!!!

ALL GLORY TO GOD.

JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN!!! 

We are so blessed and so favoured as we carry on in the euphoria of the resurrection of our LORD and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST.

HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD. That is so reassuring. That He arose is every joy to me.

Curses, condemnation, diseases, infirmities, sicknessses, sin and even death could not keep him lying in that grave.

Hallelujah!!! 

We are free and free indeed.

We are told that “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.” Galatians 3:13 ESV We will never again be accursed because Jesus hung on that cross.

Hallelujah!!! 

We are told that “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1 ESV Now that we belong to Christ, that we have confessed Him as our LORD and our personal Saviour, believing that He died for our own sins and not His, (because He actually never had any sins), no one can condemn us again. Jesus took the condemnation at the cross.

Hallelujah!!!

We are told that Jesus took away every disease and sickness. “This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.” Matthew 8:17 NLT While on the cross every sickness and disease that will ever be known to man came upon Jesus. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 NIV Lash after lash and stroke after stroke that inflicted unimaginable wounds on the back of Jesus and all over His body have brought healing to our own bodies. And He took away all our sins with Him as well. It seems unbelievable, but it is the truth that not only past sins but even sins in our futures have all been borne by Jesus on the cross.

Hallelujah!!!

And then finally, Jesus defeated death. The terrible enemy that scares everyone even though we all must pass through it. Yes Jesus died but death could not hold Him down. “But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.” Acts 2:24 NIV And so Jesus rose on the third day.  And that is why death will never hold us down either. For us now, death is a door to eternal life. Our LORD Jesus is alive forever and because we are joined to Him, we need not fear death anymore.

“I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.” Revelation 1:18 NLT

Hallelujah forever!!! 

Dear friends, we are of a truth, blessed beyond what we can imagine. Everything that came upon Jesus on the cross; curses, condemnation, diseases, sicknesses and ultimately death have been exchanged for us. He took the punishment of sins He never committed so that the righteousness of God which He is, could become ours.

Now we are the Righteousness of God in Christ; not by any works or efforts of our own but only by His Grace.

Congratulations to us all.

JESUS EXCHANGED HIS LIFE FOR OURS ON THE CROSS. 

HALLELUJAH!!!
