Its
so amaizing to note that everytime we love , encounter so much
Joy
or sometimes experience beauty , a hint of the nature of our maker
reflects within us . Our ability to perceive and appreciate
value
is an extent of His attributes . We mankind have a divine sperm
in
each and everyone of us that can reproduce one of its own , we
have
an original nature that is innocent and blameless , yet out of our
ignorance
have embraced and exchanged the Glory of GOD within us
to
an inferior identity riddled with anger , greed and frustration ,
just
like
the story of the eagle that was captured and held captive in a zoo
for
a decade . When they tried to release it with much excitement and
anticipation
, it was one thing to get the eagle out of the cage , but
how
do you get the cage out of the bird ? In the mind of this eagle , it
was
still held captive in the zoo because it remained in the pathetic
prisoner
of an inferior mindset , nothing changed until much later when
another eagle bagan to call in the area . The eyes of the zoo
eagle
immediately lit up , and the next moment she took off in majestic
flight to soar in unrestricted space , this story leaves one with a
deep impression on his mind that in the light of Paul’s gospel
we
are left with one urgent priority , which is to announce to the
nations
with boldness and confidence the truth about their original
identity
and mirror reflect the integrity of their innocence . Now
the
church is the answer of GOD to man’s lost identity , releasing
us
into HIS inheritance where HE Has blessed us with all spiritual
blessings
in the heavenlies Eph 1 : 3 . As we enlighten each other on
the
great exchange that took place on the cross of calvary when
Jesus
Christ made the GREAT EXCHANGE that surpassed the fall of men
due to sin when HE , at the cross carried our sins , so that
We
might receive all of forgiveness ; but it was our sins that did that
to him , that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins . He took
the
Punishement
, and that made us whole Is 53 : 5 (MSG) . It was at the
Cross
that Jesus Christ became sin so that we might be made righteous with
His righteousness ; for He has 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 ( MKJV) . It was at the cross that this great
Exchange
that would impact the whole world and change the state of
Mankind
forever took place and that calls for our undivided attention
when
Christ at the cross carried our sickness and dieases so that we
can
be healed and made whole ; surely he has borne our griefs and
carried
our sorrows ; yet we esteemed him stricken by God , and
afflicted
. But he was wounded for our transgressions , he was bruised for our
iniquities ; upon him was the chastisemet that made us
whole
, and with his stripes we are healed Is 53 : 4 ,5 .( RSV ). It was
at
the cross that this man Jesus was made a curse so that we can be
a
complete blessing , that dark cloud that hovered upon us because of
the law , that blocked us from attaining and be blessed of GOD was
dealt
with on the cross ; Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law
having become a curse for us –for it is written , cursed is the
one
who hangs on a tree and we cannot wish this testimony away
we
are the testimony of this great transaction that took place on the
cross calvary ..
