“Here in the cross is where every enemy of joy is overcome:
- Divine wrath, as he becomes a curse for us;
- Real guilt, as he becomes forgiveness for us;
- Lawbreaking, as he becomes righteousness for us;
- Estrangement from God, as he becomes reconciliation for us;
- Slavery to Satan, as he becomes redemption for us;
- Bondage to sin, as he becomes liberation for us;
- Pangs of conscience, as he becomes cleansing for us;
- Death, as he becomes the resurrection for us;
- Hell, as he becomes eternal life for us.”
