VERSE:
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God.
-- 2 Corinthians 5:21

THOUGHT:
When was the last time you thought of yourself as "the
righteousness of God"? What does that mean anyway? It means that we
have the best of qualities, found in the best of beings! But we
know we are not god-like! We know our fallibility and flaws! We
know our imperfections and our inconsistencies! How can we be "the
righteousness of God"? Jesus, the perfect and sinless Righteous One
of God, became our sin for us so we could be his righteousness.
More than grace, that's a miracle! And a miracle, dear friend of
Jesus, is exactly what each one of us is!
PRAYER:
Thank you, gracious and loving Father, for saving me and making
me perfect through your sacrificial gift of your Son. Please use me
to communicate your grace and your salvation with someone around me
who hasn't accepted your grace. In the name of Jesus, my older
brother and Savior, I pray. Amen.
