Verse for the Day
21God made him who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Footnotes:
2 Corinthians 5:21 Or be a sin offering

Throughtout the book of Corinthians, Paul is passionate about telling the people who they are in Christ. He reminds them of what God did, and how we are to be grateful. God took his perfect son, in a way himself, and humbly became a sin offering for us. We are the ones who were to pay, and sacrifice. Christ is our Passover lamb. Because his blood covers us we are seen as righteous in the eyes of God. This fact still amazes and humbles me. I'm not worthy of this kind of grace in my eyes, but through God's I am.
