Christ became the curse for us

Hello My Mzungu Friends,

Praise God for today! Last night I have to say I went to an amazing concert of Shane & Shane last night at Thomas Road Baptist Church. The opening acts were Monk & Neagle and Bebo Normon. When Bebo spoke last night he said Bono and all those superstars aren't suppose to go to Africa, it's suppose to be the body of Christ..I was like preach it brother. That is so true! I mean I think it's cool what all of these celebs are doing and helping out with Africa and yet while they are over there the body of Christ is sitting down in their comfort zone. Tell me what the problem is there? Yeah, I think that there is a problem. And then when Shane & Shane got up to sing..I love them so much. God used them to speak and minister to many people last night. I know that He used them to minister to me last night. Last night Shane Bernard said something about Galatians 3 that was pretty cool. Last week I had a quiet time in this chapter and thought the exact same thing, so what he said was pretty cool. He spoke about Galatians 3:13-14. The whole chapter is about faith or observance of the law. I think Paul asking if people have real and authentic faith or do they still oberserve the law. And Paul even mentioned Abraham,"Consider Abraham: "He believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness." I mean do we simply have faith and follow God, just like Abraham did or follow the law. And then this is where verses 13 & 14 come in, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.' He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might recieve the promise of the Spirit." My friends Jesus Christ actually became the curse for us. WOW! Because if you think about it, we really didn't derserve to be alive. Our Saviour redeemed us by becoming the curse for us by hanging on a rugged tree. Oh WoW! That my friends is hard to grasped, but once you start to understand it, you start seeing things differently! Praise God that I went to hear Shane & Shane last night to hear about those words about Galatians. Praise God that He inspiried Paul to write Galatians. My Abba Father is so incredible!!! Ciao my friends!
