Context: This Scripture was from Apostle Paul and Timothy, unto the Church at Corinth (2nd Cor. 6:1-2).

I like this! 

JESUS became *POOR FOR OUR RICHES*. 

The Remedy for our glitches. 

Condemned for our Heavenly destiny. 

The TRUTH that makes us blessed and free. 

Bruised for our iniquities. 

Forsaken so we wouldn't hafta be. 

Faithful to forgive. 

Adoptive, making us HIS. 

Sin, WHO knew no sin. 

Incorruptible, in which Seed we're born again. 

Cursed for our blessing.

A Place for our resting. 

A Sacrifice WHO took our place. 

A Righteous KING full of compassionate grace. 

Our Precious REDEEMER. 

Our Soothing RELIEVER. 

Burden-Remover & Yoke-Destroyer. 

For your sickness HE's Doctor, your plea HE's Lawyer. 

Drinker of our cup. 

Open your door to HIM and sup. 

HE's the SON of GOD—SAVIOR of us all. 

The ONE WHO picked us up from the fall.
