CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

A call to become :

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

In the Old Testament there was a solemn Day of Atonement each year for the sin of all God’s people. On that day, just once each year, the high priest of Israel was allowed to enter the Most Holy Place of the temple, where God’s presence dwelled. Before he did that, the priest had to sacrifice a bull and a goat so that he could sprinkle their blood inside the Most Holy Place as a symbol of atonement for sin. Then the high priest would come out and place his hands on the head of a live goat, and he would confess over this animal all the rebellion and sin of the people. This goat, called the scapegoat, would carry upon itself all the sins of the people. It would be led away to be released in the wilderness, banished to die in a remote place alone. See Leviticus 16.

As our Savior who took upon himself the burden of all our sins, Jesus became our scapegoat. Surely there is no more profound mystery than this? It is the wonder of all wonders "God Made Him Sin … so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." While Christ identified with sinful man and was imputed with the grossness of our sin... by faith, WE are identified with Christ and imputed with His perfect righteousness! God in His love clothed Himself in mortal flesh, so that through the surrender of the unblemished Lamb of God on the altar of sacrifice, we could be fully identified with Him becoming the righteousness of God in Him and being declared holy in the sacred sight of God. God in His grace, mercy, and love, adopted us as His children and made us joint-heirs with Christ. What an Honor. What a Savior. Halleluiah!

PRAYER

Lord, thank You that through Christ there is no condemnation for those that believe in Him as Saviour. I do believe In Jesus. Amen.
