Canadian author William D. Matheson, in “My Grandfather’s War,” tells of a veteran who walked through the streets of his hometown with an empty sleeve. When a passerby commented on the loss of his arm, the veteran replied, “Losing implies that I do not know where it went. I didn’t lose it. I gave it.”
How well that describes what Jesus did for us. He didn’t lose His life on the cross, He gave it. Jesus willingly took our place at Calvary. He suffered and died in our place.
II 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.
