Imagine being put on trial and you know you're guilty. The judge knows it, the jury knows it and everyone else does too. Imagine that the judge holds a sidebar and suddenly your verdict is declared – not guilty. Someone else has decided to step in your place and take your sentence for you. In today’s message, Pastor Mark reminds us that Jesus is the one who came and received the judgment of God in your place. God never wanted for you to be condemned, but someone had to take your place so that justice could be served.
