 Do you realize, my friend, that after you receive Jesus, when God looks at the cross, he sees your sin, he sees your wrongdoing, he sees your mistakes, he sees your character flaws, but when God looks at you, he sees Jesus. It's the great exchange of the cross. Jesus, who lived a perfect and sinless life, died in your place, took on the wrath of God, took on your sin and shame, and in your place now is his perfection.
