2 Corinthians 5:21 “for He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

DAILY READING •Acts 7:1-22; Deuteronomy 29-30; Job 18

France was the first modern nation to introduce universal military conscription as a condition of citizenship. This was done in order to provide manpower for the country’s military at the time of the French Revolution. Conscription in France continued in various forms and during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte.
By January 23 1808, the law required all men who reached twenty years of age in a particular year to be eligible for conscription for five years. But in the rare case that you could get someone else to take your place, you were exempt.
On one occasion the authorities came to conscript a certain man, but he refused to go, saying, “I was killed two years ago.” At first they questioned his sanity, but he insisted that this was in fact the case. He claimed that the records would show that he had been conscripted two years previously and that he had been killed in action. “How can that be?” they questioned. “You are alive now.”
He explained that when his name came up, a close friend said to him, “You have a large family, but I’m not married and nobody is dependent on me. I’ll take your name and address and go in your place.”
The friend had been killed in action.
The records upheld the man’s claim. The case was referred to Napoleon Bonaparte. himself, who decided that the country had no legal claim on that man. He was free because another man had died in his place.

In the greatest display of love this world has ever seen, Jesus took our place and paid in full the wages of our sin.
We owed a debt we could not pay; He paid a debt He did not owe. Jesus’ final words on the cross were: “Tetelestai. It is finished”. That means ‘paid in full’.
Each year, when we celebrate Christmas, we remember the miracle of the incarnation – God becoming flesh for us. It’s a wonderful time of joy and thankfulness to God for his amazing gift to the world.
But Christmas should also remind us of why He was born. Jesus was born so that one day, He could die for us and redeem humanity.
The spotless Lamb of God took upon Himself the sins of the world so that we can become the righteousness of God in Him. Before Jesus’ death, we stood guilty in God’s sight doomed and condemned. We were without hope. But that changed when Jesus shed His Blood. And that Blood today now speaks victory for us.
It doesn’t matter what it is you are confronted with, it doesn’t matter how big or small any negative issue you have to deal with, Christ has already paid for it in the fullest and to the outermost. Our savior suffered every pain to ensure we never have to suffer again in this life. Jesus took our place and suffered for our sake.

2 Corinthians 5:21 says “for He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Today, Christ is no longer on the cross and neither is He in the grave; He is raised up and seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. The benefit of the price He paid has legally been credited in our favour. And this is why affliction is not permitted to rise a second time in your life. By the power in the Blood, every satanic agenda against our lives have been rendered useless. Indeed through Christ we are now redeemed to win in every situation of life. Through the Blood we have been set free to live lives that continually bring glory to God.
Having been purchased by His Blood, our lives are now to show forth the praises of God through continual manifestations of miracles signs and wonders around us.

PRAYER: Lord, I am truly grateful that by the power in Your Blood, I am revived to live a life of glory. Thank You Lord for Your steadfast love and may Your praise continually be on my lips in Jesus Name.
