"And thus hath our good Lord Jesus taken upon Him all our blame, and therefore our Father nor may nor will more blame assign to us than to His own Son, dearworthy Christ."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 51)
Christ the Son of God took on flesh and became the Son of Man. Christ united with our humanity and became the union of God and Man in one Person. He is fully God and fully Man. By uniting with us, taking on a human body and becoming one with our human flesh, we are truly one with Christ, in intimate connection with Him. We are so close that we are one. In that oneness with us, Christ took on all the sin, shame, pain, condemnation and blame of our failures. He took it upon Himself and away from us, off of us. All our sin and shame and guilt and blame is done away with in Him. His purity, righteousness, goodness and holiness destroy all sin, dissolve all blame. He truly took away the sin of the world, taking it down into death so it is gone forever! And in that oneness with us, He gave us His righteousness. He gave us His purity. He gave us His goodness. He gave us His holiness! We are one with Christ. Can there be any fault found with Christ? No! Then there cannot be any fault found with us, either! God would no more assign blame to us than He would to His own Son! We are completely cleansed and purified in Christ, freed from all our sin and blame. And we are completely made righteous in Christ, sanctified with all the holiness of Christ Himself. He is our Righteousness. He is our Purity. In Him we stand perfect, complete, innocent and right with God for all time! What a Savior!
"For God caused Christ, who himself knew nothing of sin, actually to be sin for our sakes, so that in Christ we might be made good with the goodness of God."
2 Corinthians 5:21 (PHILLIPS)
A Prayer: Thank You for taking away my sin. I am innocent and blameless in You!
