Real quick had to share this. This morning as we were eating breakfast and chatting we got on to the subject of the Great Exchange. I took my cup of water and Darby's water and said that it was like my cup was full of sin and I was suppose to die because sin leads to death, destined to be seperated from God forever! Jesus came and lived in perfect righteousness and holiness so His cup was full of righteousness and holiness. When He died on the cross for us He took our cup full of sin and exchanged it for His cup of righteousness and holiness. So that when we stood before God He would see Jesus' righteousness instead of our sin. Cal said, "Do me!!" And shoved his cup at me so I explained it again using my cup and his. When I finished he started getting upset, tearing up and saying he was mad at God. I asked him why he was mad at God to which he said he wasn't mad at him. And then sat there sitting for a while obviously deep in thought. Finally he said, "I want to color a picture for God." So all three kids are coloring pictures for God as an act of worship to Him for the amazing work in the great exchange!! Great way to start the morning, I must say.
“This is that mystery which is rich in divine grace to sinners: wherein by a wonderful exchange our sins are no longer ours but Christ’s, and the righteousness of Christ not Christ’s but ours. He has emptied himself of his righteousness that he might clothe us with it and fill us with it; and he has taken our evils upon himself that he might deliver us from them.” Martin Luther

Awesome story! Excellent way to help them understand the truth of the Gospel. Makes me think of Hillsong's Beautiful Exchange.

Hmm, don't think the youtube link worked. You'll just have to search for Beauiful Exchange on youtube. Well worth the listen.
