JESUS OUR SUBSTITUTE
Born-again believers everywhere, won’t dispute the fact that Jesus was our substitute, when it comes to sin:
2 Corinthians 5:21 – God made Him who had no sin to
BE SIN for us, so that in Him WE might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God
But salvation does not stop there.
Lets take a quick look at some other “things” Jesus Christ did
for us, with His own body, at the cross of Calvary:
He went to Hell, so we could go to Heaven:
Isaiah 53:9 – He was assigned a grave with the wicked
Matthew 28:7 – He has risen from the dead
Psalm 88:5 – I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care. You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths, Your wrath lies heavily upon me
He became poor, so we could be rich:
2 Corinthians 8:9 – For you know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became POOR,
so that YOU through His poverty might BECOME RICH
He bore our sickness and diseases, so that we could have health:
1 Peter 2:24 – He Himself bore our sins in His body
on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you HAVE BEEN HEALED
Matthew 8:17 – This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He TOOK UP OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED OUR DISEASES”
Isaiah 53:5 – And by His wounds WE ARE HEALED
He took on sorrow, so that we could have joy:
Isaiah 61:13 – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of GLADNESS instead of mourning, and a garment of PRAISE instead of a spirit of despair
Isaiah 53:3-4 -He was … a man of SORROWS (griefs – NKJ), , and familiar with suffering … He was despised … Surely HE TOOK UP OUR INFIRMITIES and carried OUR SORROWS
Isaiah 53:5 – the punishment that BROUGHT US PEACE was upon Him
He was rejected by God, so that we could be accepted by God:
Isaiah 53:4 – we considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted
Isaiah 53:10 – yet is was the Lord’s will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer
Psalm 88:5 – Your wrath lies heavily upon me
Romans 5:1 – Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have PEACE WITH GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ
Romans 5:11 – we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received RECONCILIATION
Jesus Christ became a curse for us, so that we could be blessed:
Galatians 3:13 – Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by BECOMING A CURSE FOR US, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree”. HE REDEEMED US IN ORDER that the BLESSING given to Abraham might come the Gentiles
And again, Jesus Christ became sin for us, so that we would become the righteousness of God:
Isaiah 53:5 – He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities
Isaiah 53:6 – the Lord has laid on Him the INIQUITY of us all
Isaiah 53:8 – for the transgression of my people He was stricken
Isaiah 53:11 – After the suffering of His soul … my righteous servant will justify many, He will bear their iniquities
Isaiah 53:12 – He bore the sin of many
Receive Christ as your healer, peace provider, financial provider, curse breaker, etc. today!
He paid for your victory!
Receive it, and thank Him for it!
Hallelujah.

Thank You Father that Jesus Christ bore ALL of my sickness and diseases in His very own body on the tree and by His stripes I AM healed!
Thank You Father that Jesus Christ became poor so that all of my needs could be met by Your riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Because of Christ Jesus, I am rich!
