WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT CALVARY ?
Four awesome things happened when Jesus hung on the Cross at Calvary.
1. Jesus became SIN, so we might become RIGHTEOUS. 2 Corinthians 5:21 � for he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2. Jesus became a CURSE, so we might become BLESSED. Galatians 3:13 � Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:
3. Jesus became SICK, so we could become HEALED. Isaiah 53:5 � He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
4. Jesus became POOR, so we could become RICH. Matthew 5:3 � Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
This was not poverty of material things, but poor in spirit (because of our old sinful nature) not yet born-again. |
