Who gave Himself for me. - Galatians 2:20

Jesus was our Substitute. He lived, suffered, and died, in our stead. Our sins were imputed to Him, punished in Him, and removed by Him.

God had cursed us, but Jesus gave Himself to bear the curse in our stead; every threatening of the law was executed on Him; everyone of the claims of justice was answered by Him; and now God is just and yet the justifier of everyone that believeth in Jesus. The debt-book is crossed, the handwriting that was against us is destroyed, and every foe is overcome. Do we think of the law we have broken, of the justice we have provoked, of the hell we have deserved?

Let us also think, Jesus gave Himself for me. He satisfied justice, fulfilled the law, and brought glory to God, in my nature, name, and stead; and God is infinitely more honoured by the life and death of my Substitute, than He could have been either by my obedience had I never sinned, or by punishing me for sin. This is our rejoicing, that God can be just, in justifying us who believe in Jesus.

Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.

Jesus is the chiefest good;

He hath saved us by His blood:

Let us value nought but Him;

Nothing else deserves esteem.

Jesus, when stern Justice said,

"Man his life has forfeited;

Vengeance follows My decree,"

Cried, "Inflict it all on Me."
