He became Sin

" He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor 5:21

Really read this verse. Today's comments will be short because I believe this verse is so powerful and thought provoking. God made Christ "to BE sin", not just to take our sins on Himself, but He became sin itself, the nature of sin, the heredity of sin, He took it all on and put it in Himself to bring mankind back to the beginning, before the fall of man, so that we might commune and walk with God individually without judgement. Then the verse goes on to say that CHrist did this that we might become the rigtheousness of God...not that we could be seen as righteous but that be would become righteousness itself. We are to be the embodiment and vessel of God's righteousness. How powerful and awe inspiring are these statements to you? Really take it in. How humbled I am this morning.
BLessings to you and yours.
