“How? you ask. In Christ. God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
How utterly wondrous is this concept, don’t you think? Because if I were to right the wrong myself, I just couldn’t do it — not even in an entire lifetime. But to think that God has made a provision for me to become a beneficiary of a plan that includes my complete pardon and allows an eternal reconciliation with Him, all made possible by the work of Christ who bore my wrong and paid the price of my sin — for all this to be made freely available for me so that I “could be put right with God” — what a wondrous concept!
