We Died With Him 4/27 Thursday Thoughts

Galatians 2:20 describes our place, "I have been crucified with Christ." ... In the mind of Justice every one of us was nailed to that cross in Christ. Then when He died, we died with Him. His death was a substitutionary death. It was our death. Sin slew Him -- our sin slew Him. I suppse, if the truth were known, we slew Him. Then Jesus, taking us and our sins with Him, went to the place where we should have gone alone, and there suffered until every claim of Justice was fully met. -- E.W. Kenyon.
