By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. [Isaiah 53:8-9]
Jesus was punished on account of our transgression. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, though He did no wicked act.
Likewise, today, we are blessed on account of Jesus' righteousness. We are assigned a place in the kingdom of God with the righteous, even though we did no righteous act.
This Good Friday, just gaze upon and believe on the divine exchange at the cross, that Jesus became who you are that you may become who He is.
