Made Sin, by David Harwood
2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
This is a familiar scripture to many of us.
The text states that Jesus gave Himself so utterly that Father was able to make Him, Who knew no sin, sin on our behalf.
This happened judiciously… perhaps it happened when the Lord cried out. “My God, why have you forsaken Me?” or, “It is finished!” Maybe (my opinion) it was simply the culmination of all He experienced at Calvary.
We might ask - "What does it feel like to become sin, Lord?"
He might answer - "Like being crucified."
