2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

It may be difficult for us to understand how Christ could like a sinless life being in a world which is so corrupt; or how He could be sinless being born of Mary.

But it was the Holy Spirit who enabled Mary to have a child without a human man – this was by God’s design.

Christ gave that all up to accept our sin onto His shoulders and to die in our stead so we can be free from that sin.

He is our Righteousness. He took away our sins.

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

This is a wonderful Psalm which many people know of because it is quoted so much; but have you thought about who this is referring to?

Our immediate thoughts may be this is God the Father but our Good Shepherd is Christ Jesus, God the Son.

Jesus has given us everything and yet so many people continually seek more and more.

Once we accept what He is giving us with open hearts, we find just how much we have and how little we lack.

Judges 6:24 So Gideon built an altar there to the Lord, and called it The-Lord-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Gideon was given first-hand experience of God’s absolute love when he was shown love and peace when he was expecting death.

Gideon built an altar and named the place he was at Jehovah-Shalom, or The Lord is Peace.

That altar remained in place for some time because it was still there when the script was written describing the events which had happened.

Are you reminding people of God’s love and peace in a special way?
