DAY #14 - CHRIST

"Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.  All this is from God, who through CHRIST reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, in CHRIST God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.  Therefore, we are ambassadors for CHRIST, God making his appeal through us.  We implore you on behalf of CHRIST, be reconciled to God.  For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God."  2 Cor. 5:17-21

Jesus, You are the CHRIST - the Messiah sent to reconcile me to God.  You came to earth knowing that You would be the substitutionary payment for my sin.  You who were sinless, would take on my sin - my shame and my guilt - to pay the penalty for my sin.    You were stripped of Your clothes, beaten and killed - for me.  Jesus, I have done NOTHING to deserve this.  I can do NOTHING to earn it.   Because I have believed what You have done for me, I am now reconciled to God through You.  I stand before you holy and blameless now and forevermore (Eph. 1:4).  You loved me so much that You gave your life for me.  Because of this, I am a new creation!  The old has passed, the new has come!!!  These words feel so small in comparison to what You have done for me - but I worship You and thank You,  Jesus, for loving me so much that You would substitute Your sinless life for mine.   I give You my life and my all!  

(What does it mean to you that Jesus would substitute His life for yours?  Thank Him, praise Him and worship Him today for being your CHRIST!)#100dayswithjesus
