•20所以，我们作基督的特使，就好像　神藉我们劝你们一般。我们替基督求你们，与　神和好吧！21　神使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好使我们在他里面成为　神的义。

第21节的经文值得我们背下来，并学习如何解释其含义。这节经文有时被称为“上帝的伟大交换。” 如果你想用一种简单而难忘的方式向别人解释神的救恩计划，你只需讲解这段话的含义就行了。上帝使那无罪的耶稣替我们成为罪。上帝圣洁无瑕的儿子被钉在十字架上，并承担了全世界的罪。上帝使他代替我们成为我们的罪。这就是为什么耶稣在十字架上感觉自己被上帝离弃了。在耶稣受洗和登山变像的时候，天父上帝曾说他是自己喜悦的爱子，但是在十字架上，就连天父也无法忍心观看自己的儿子被离弃，因他替我们成为了罪。

你能想象这一切吗？耶稣成了你最丑恶的罪，成为你一生所犯下的罪。他成为每一个人的罪。想想你在这个世上看到的所有变态行为。大规模的杀人案件，种族大屠杀，令人发指的虐待儿童行为。人们在忍饥挨饿，而富人却在游艇上游手好闲，投资囤积钱财。耶稣替我们成为所有这些罪。他成为我们的罪。

但在他里面，我们却成为上帝的义。想一想吧。你成为了原来你不是的样子，你再也不是被你的罪所定义了，而是被耶稣的义所定义。因为相信耶稣，我们在上帝的眼中成为公义圣洁，耶稣完美的生命就是我们自己的完美生命。他的慷慨，他的良善，他在旷野中打败了魔鬼撒旦。他饶恕他的敌人，喂饱饥饿的人，赦免而不是审判那个行淫被抓的富人。他与税吏和罪人成为朋友。藉着我们的信心，耶稣的所有这一切都是我们的。我成为了我未曾成为的样子。我不再被自己的罪所定义，而是被耶稣的义所定义。

还能比这更清楚的真理吗?当然，你也可以教导别人这个美妙的真理。你是基督的特使。上帝将这个和好的信息给了你，并将它浓缩成这短短的一句经文。去告诉你周围的人吧，告诉他们上帝在基督里已经改变了对他们的看法。

祷告：主耶稣，这个伟大的交换是如此简单，同时又是如此令人惊叹。你变成了你所不是的样子，好让我变成你现在的样子!愿这真理在我心中坚固，抵挡撒但对我的一切控告。愿这话常在我口中，使我可以坦然承认你所行的事。阿们。

2 Corinthians 5: 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.  (NIV)

This passage is worth memorizing and learning how to explain. It is sometimes called God’s Great Exchange. If you want to explain God’s plan of salvation in a simple and memorable way, just teach them this passage and what it means.  God made Jesus, who had no sin, to be sin for us. The holy Son of God went to the cross and bored the sins of the world. God made him to be our sin for us. That’s why he felt that he was forsaken by God. The Father, who said he was well pleased with him at his baptism and his transfiguration, could not bear to look at his Son, because he became sin for us.

        Can you imagine that? Jesus became your ugliest sin. He became your whole life of sin. He became the sin of every person who ever lived. Think of all the perversions you have seen in the world. The mass murders. The holocausts. Children abuse in terrible ways. People starving while the rich float on their yachts or hoard their investments. Jesus became all of that for us. He became our sin.

        And in him, we became the righteousness of God. Think about that for a moment. You are who you are not. You are not defined by your sin but by the righteousness of Jesus. By faith in him, we have become righteous in God’s eyes. His perfect life is ours. His generosity. His kindness. His sending Satan away in the wilderness. Forgiving his enemies. Feeding the hungry. Forgiving and not judging the woman caught in adultery. Friending tax collectors and sinners. This is all yours and mine by faith. I am what I am not.  I am defined by Jesus’ righteousness and not by my sin.

        Can it be any clearer than this? Surely, you can teach someone this wonderful truth. You are an ambassador for Christ.  God has given to you the message of reconciliation and boiled it down to just 22 words (15 in the Greek text).  You can do this. You tell someone that God has changed their opinion about them – in Christ.

Prayer:   Lord Jesus, it is so simple and so awesome at the same time! You became what you were not so that I might become what you are! Let this truth be cemented in my heart against all accusations that Satan may bring against me. And let this word be in my mouth that I may confess freely what you have done. Amen.
