I came across this quote from Martin Luther while reading The Cross of Christ today. It references 2nd Corinthians 5:21 which is probably my favorite verse in the Bible.
Luther says while writing to a friend in distress over his sin:
"Learn to know Christ and Him crucified. Learn to sing to Him and say, 'Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not."
Amen.
