HE WAS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Dsc. Dsc. DD.

📖 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them... (2 Corinthians 5:18-19 NIV).

There was only one sacrifice that was necessary for our salvation, the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. Acts 13:38-39 says, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.” This is amazing. Everybody who believes in Jesus is justified from all things from which they couldn’t be justified by the law of Moses.

Jesus took your place in His death. When He was dying on the Cross, you were dying on that Cross, because He was your representative before God. He did it for the whole world. If He was your representative on the Cross, then He was still your representative when He was buried. That means you were buried when Jesus was buried; the whole world of sinners was buried with Him because He was our representative.

Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD had laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Now, this Jesus, because He was our representative on the Cross when He died and our representative in the grave, when God raised Him up, we were also all raised together with Him. Everybody, regardless of nationality, race or religion, was raised together with Jesus.

So, if you’re reading this today and you’ve never been born again, turn to page 68 of this devotional and pray the prayer of salvation. Receive the salvation that Jesus consummated for you by His death, burial and resurrection. He paid the penalty for your sins, and now, God is not counting your sins against you. Hallelujah!

Dear Father, I thank you for the vicarious sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, in His death, burial, and resurrection. Through Him, I’ve been justified from all things and made righteous. I walk in the consciousness of this truth, knowing that no charges can be laid against me. I'm free from sin, guilt and condemnation. Hallelujah!

Romans 4:23-25 ESV; But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone,
[24] but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
[25] who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

John 1:29; The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

2 Corinthians 5:21; For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
