The Divine Exchange

At the cross, Jesus


became ugly so that we might have His beauty

was rejected we might be accepted

suffered pain and sorrow we might have joy and be happy

was despised we might be esteemed

carried all sicknesses and diseases we might have healing and health

suffered anguish and despair we might have peace and hope

was judged and punished we might be forgiven and justified

had no one to speak on His behalf forever we might have a perfect High Priest who speaks on our behalf in heaven
