For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Notice carefully the choice of words as inspired by the Spirit in the scripture above: Christ Jesus was made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This is much more than being made righteous; rather, it means that we've become the very expression of His righteousness. This is Christianity. This is the Gospel. We're the expression of God's goodness, His kindness, grace, wisdom, power and glory.

We're the expression of His personality; everything the Father is, and represents, is expressed in and through us. The Lord Jesus made a profound statement when He said, ''he that hath seen me hath seen the Father'' (John 14:9). In John 10:30, He also said, 'I and my Father are one.' He expressed the will and nature of the Father. He's described for us in Hebrews 1:3 as the express image of the Father, the facsimile, print-copy or profile of the Father, the ultimate icon of God.

We're exactly like Him. 1 John 4:17 says, as He is, so are we in this world. Like Jesus, we're the expression of the will and character of God. That's one of the definitions of righteousness: it's the expression of the will and nature of God. Therefore, having been made His righteousness, we have the ability to manifest and express the will and nature of the Father everywhere: in every situation, in every event, and in every matter. Blessed be God!

Prayer

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for making Christ Jesus, who knew no sin to be sin for me, that I might become the expression of your righteousness, endowed with the ability to manifest and express your will and nature in all things. I unveil your goodness and excellence today, displaying your glory and power, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
