(Sundaycast) Martin Luther Helps Us Practice Prayer And Praise (2 Kings 19:14; Luke 9:28)

CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! This Greek Ikon painting shows our risen Lord no longer captive to sin, death and the devil. On Friday, these three laid hold of Him because Jesus was bearing the sins of the whole world. He was in that hour the worst sinner that ever lived on earth. You name it, Jesus was guilty of it. All the awful things we have ever known on earth are laid on Jesus. But because He bore them in His own flesh, you and I are free. He is all our sin and we are all His righteousness. We are not guilty. Christ is our guilt. As we say in the beginning of our podcast, on the cross Jesus makes the sweet swap or great exchange. He becomes may sin. I am His holiness. That is why you can rejoice and share this good news with any you meet today. If Jesus can make someone clean who is as bad as you, then there is hope for everyone you talk to today.
