Transfer of Righteousness

Transfer happens in school, jobs and property. But, the greatest transfer occurred on the cross. The poison of sin was transferred and replaced on the cross, with righteousness of God. 

There are native doctors in India who treat snake bites. If a man is bitten by a snake, he is brought to him. The doctor will then make a small cut in the affected area and take a live hen and keep its rear side on the bitten place, which has been cut open. The rear side of the chicken has the property to draw out all the poison. As the treatment proceeds, the poison will be transferred to this live hen and soon it starts writhing in pain and suffers from breathlessness. Slowly, all the poison would be transferred from the body of the affected person to the hen. The man will live. Alas! The poor hen will die. 

This is what Jesus did for us. When He died on the cross, all our sins were transferred onto Him and His righteousness was transferred onto us. Today, you are the righteousness of God. There is no sin or its consequences in you. Yes, Jesus took all your sins upon Himself. His abundant life is yours today. Speak “life” into every area of your life and enjoy all the days of your life with the understanding of “righteousness”.  

Prayer

“Loving Father, I thank You for sending Your only son Jesus for me and taking away all my sins through His death on the cross. Thank You for imputing Your righteousness onto me. I will proclaim Your goodness. May those who are dwelling in darkness come into this light of salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
