“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”
Philippians 3:10 KJV
The wisdom of the riches of God’s grace in Jesus dying and coming alive to give each human being the tremendous power of His resurrection and being conformable to His death is breathtaking! Just by believing! It’s awesome! God has called us to be awe-inspired by the finished work of the Cross, that we meditate and identify with His sufferings. We do this by nailing on the Cross and seeing Jesus punished for our secret sins, our hypocrisies and hidden meanness and other character traits, our ego hassles, our weaknesses, the ungodly thoughts that invade our mind, our anger, our stubbornness, our indifference, unbelief and every evil act. We make the divine exchange on the Cross and receive by faith Jesus’s righteousness, His innocence, His grace, His forgiveness, His love for us personally. Let’s humble ourselves to come to the foot of the Cross and make that exchange daily, for apart from Jesus we can do nothing!
