It is not coming back to you.","body":["The law came with a curse for everyone who failed to keep it, and that meant everyone. Paul does not soften it. But then he tells you what Christ did: He redeemed you from that curse by becoming a curse for you. The sentence that hung over you fell on Him instead.","This is the great exchange at the center of the gospel. He did not just sympathize with your condemnation. He absorbed it. He hung on the tree and took the curse into Himself, so that what was aimed at you would never land on you.","So when guilt tells you a curse is still hanging over your head, look at the cross. It already came down, and it came down on Him. You were redeemed from it. The curse Christ carried is not going to circle back around to you."],"carry":"The curse already fell, and it fell on Him.
