A man who never sinned ( Isaiah 53 )

Winston Churchill was noted for his sharp wit,during the 2nd world war Attlee and Churchill were having an interview with a Frank Pick who was director general of the ministry of information.Pick had a strong character,but also a streak of self-righteousness,which Churchill loathed.The two men sat and listened to a priggish lecture on the importance of sticking to the truth in propaganda. As they listened Churchill grew  exasperated, while Attlee  became so bored that he give way to sleep,he slipped off the settee on which he was sitting.In response Churchill barked,'Rise up Major Attlee. It is not every day you have an opportunity of shaking hands with a man who has never sinned''.I have met people who have said they  are not a   sinner,I hope you are not one, who thinks that way,for the word of  God tells us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.And yet there is a person who never sinned, Jesus ,in Hebrew 4 v 15 we read,'He did not sin'. He never thought a wrong thought,never said a wrong word,and never committed a wrong deed.In 1 Peter 2 v 22 we have His sinlessness mentioned again,'He committed no sin',so why did he die on the cross?.,Peter goes unto to tell us,' He himself bore our sins on the cross'  ( v 24 ). One writer says,' The bearing of  our sins means suffering the punishment in our place',as Leon Morris says,'Because He suffered we do not suffer. ' This only becomes effective when we trust Him to be our Saviour.Christian rejoice that your sins are forgiven, wrath no longer awaits you.If you are not a Christian I implore you to ask Jesus to be your Saviour and so escape the wrath to come.
