Our identity is the stable sense of self across people, places and time. But one’s identity often has been cracked or shattered.  When our identity is injured or fragmented,  it is difficult to love other people, as well as ourselves.

The solution is the idea of the Divine Exchange.  This is what the Bible says Jesus did for us when he died on the cross. Isaiah 53:4-6 speaks of this.   He summarized it in 2 Corinthians. 5:21 (Passion Trans.) “For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness [i.e. being right with God] might become the righteousness of God through our union with him.”

This Video Live highlights the sufferings Jesus endured on the cross and how they are exchanged by God to make us free from our shattered identities, physical diseases, and spiritual darkness.  In Isaiah 52:14, the Word says that Jesus was so disfigured, corrupted and ruined that he was barely recognizable.   I believe this is the part of the Divine Exchange where The Wounds of Christ are offered to us as repairs for our personal issues.  Jesus is the solution for our cracked identities. He has paid the price for our disfigurement psychologically-speaking. When we ourselves have become so disfigured, so hurt, so marred that we can’t recognize ourselves, Jesus loves to restore our identity. All we have to do is ask Him.
