JESUS IS OUR SUBSTITUTE

He is our perfect substitute
He died so that we could live
He came out so we could go in
He came down so we could go up
He was bound so we could be free
He was beaten so we could be healed
He was cursed so we could be blessed
He became naked so we could be clothed
He became poor so we might be made rich
He took our place to give us rights to enter His
He was bruised so our iniquities could be forgiven
He stood in our position so we can sit with Him in His
He was wounded so our transgressions could be erased
He became what we were so we might become what He is
He took the blame so we could stop playing the blame game
He said, "It is finished" because all our debt had been paid in full
He lost what was rightfully His so we could win what was not ours
He became sin for us so we could become the righteousness of God
He represented us to the Father so we could represent Him in the world
He was separated from His Father so we could be reconciled to our Him
He experienced out suffering so that He might be a more merciful High Priest


JOHN 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17)  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved.
