HE WAS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

DECEMBER 1, 2025

All this is from God, who reconciled us to

himself through Christ and gave us the

ministry of reconciliation: that God was

reconciling the world to himself in Christ,

not counting people’s sins against

them... (2 Corinthians 5:18-19 NIV).

There was only one sacrifice that was necessary for

our salvation, the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.

Acts 13:38-39 says, “Be it known unto you therefore,

men and brethren, that through this man is preached

unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that

believe are justified from all things, from which ye

could not be justified by the law of Moses.” This is

amazing. Everybody who believes in Jesus is justified

from all things from which they couldn’t be justified by the

law of Moses.

Jesus took your place in His death. When He was

dying on the Cross, you were dying on that Cross, because

He was your representative before God. He did it for the

whole world. If He was your representative on the Cross,

then He was still your representative when He was buried.

That means you were buried when Jesus was buried; the

whole world of sinners was buried with Him because He

was our representative.

Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone

astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and

the LORD had laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Now,

this Jesus, because He was our representative on the

Cross when He died and our representative in the grave,

when God raised Him up, we were also all raised together

with Him. Everybody, regardless of nationality, race or

religion, was raised together with Jesus.

So, if you’re reading this today and you’ve never been

born again, turn to page 68 of this devotional and pray

the prayer of salvation. Receive the salvation that Jesus

consummated for you by His death, burial and resurrection.

He paid the penalty for your sins, and now, God is not

counting your sins against you. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the vicarious sacrifice of

the Lord Jesus, in His death, burial, and resurrection.

Through Him, I’ve been justified from all things and

made righteous. I walk in the consciousness of this truth,

knowing that no charges can be laid against me. I'm free

from sin, guilt and condemnation. Hallelujah!
