For Ours

By Max Lucado

“I have questioned him before you all, and I have not found him guilty.”  Luke 23:14

A crook places himself between Jesus and the accusers and speaks on his behalf . . . “We are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong” (Luke 23:41 NIV).

We are guilty and he is innocent.

We are filthy and he is pure.

We are wrong and he is right.

He is not on that cross for his sins. He is there for ours.
