Jesus took My Name
Jesus took my punishment as if He were me
Jesus took my place in hell
Surprised?
Jesus became sin
The only place for sin upon death was hell
Jesus took up His (my) residence in hell
Hell was/ is the eternal place of separation from the Goodness of God
Jesus as sin, as my sin, took up my residence in hell
BUT GOD…
That is not the end of the story
Because Jesus was THE Sacrificial Lamb, trusting the Word of the Father
He was raised from the dead and given New Life
And just so, as He paid the price in my name
He has conferred/ given me His Name in His Resurrection
HE took my name and punishment and
Gave me His Name
His Name
His Glorious, Unblemished Name
So I can be as He is
So I can make the same claims upon the Father
God said to bring Him to Remembrance
It is a part of Covenant talk as we take Communion
We REMEMBER the Great Exchange
Death and torture for Life and Peace
The Broken Body and Shed Blood of our Savior
Shine On!!! Laurie
