Becoming Sin to Become the Righteousness of God?
2020 Symposium Breakout Session Abstract by Fr. Stephen Freeman
FOR OUR
sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Cor. 5:21).
St. Sophrony of Essex wrote that Christ has descended to the lowest depths of hell and waits for His friends to meet Him there. The great paradox of our faith is that to know its fullness, we must become empty. In what way do we ourselves “become sin,” in order that we might “become the righteousness of God?”
