While listening to a song by Phil Wickham today, I began to think of a metaphor for Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross.
Imagine you travel to an Asian country where the punishment for drug possession includes the death penalty. During your stay, you purchase some marijuana for recreational use, but somehow the drugs are discovered by the authorities, and you are sentenced to death.
Now picture a completely innocent man who offers to take your place so that you can go free.
Yeah, it's kinda like that.
