“For He [God the Father] hath made Him [the Lord Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Have you ever thought of what it meant for the Lord Jesus to be “made sin” for us? It means that God the Father dealt with the Lord Jesus as if He had committed the sins that we committed. The Lord Jesus took all the punishment for sin as if He had done all those wrong things. This was something you and I will never be able to understand. He has a nature that hates sin, yet He was made sin for us.
During those three hours of darkness on the cross, the Lord Jesus suffered more than you and I can ever imagine. But His love to God His Father, and His love to us, kept Him on that cross until all the judgment was exhausted. Have you ever thanked the Lord Jesus for what He has done?
