Some years ago, I watched a drama presentation by the youths of a particular church. In this drama there were two brothers from the same parents. One was a committed Christian while the other was a criminal. This Christian brother did his best to turn his younger brother to righteousness but to no avail. On that fateful day, as usual the young man got Into trouble and provoked the anger of a mob. Normally he would escape and go into the hiding until his crime was forgotten but that day was different. The mob came after him with different kinds of weapons ready to take their pound of flesh. He ran back home; fortunately his elder brother was at home. He quickly confessed his crime to his elder brother begging to be protected from the angry mob that was already banging at the door.
His elder brother not knowing what to do decided to stand in for his brother.He took the blood stained clothes of his kid brother, put it on, and gave his clean white shirt to him with this words, 'please do not stain my garment with blood' He then, opened the door to face the angry mob. On sighting the blood stained clothes the angry mob thought he was the waned man. This is a exchange of what happened at Calvary. Why will you perish when your sins has been paid for, he took your sins and gave you his righteousness. It is a free gift, accept it and be made whole!!!
