“Whatever became of them?”

Everyone remembers people from their past—classmates, neighbors, friends, even relatives. At some point, they were separated and eventually lost contact. Later, we may wonder, “Whatever became of them?” By nature, all humans are sinful. There isn’t a time in which we live without sin and its effects in this life. David asserts, “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me” (Psalm 51:5). Paul echoes, “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Indeed, since the fall into sin, no human knows righteousness or holiness. But God sees it differently. He does not see us for who we are. Rather, he sees us for who we have become by faith in his Son. Paul writes, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Instead of seeing us as we are, God sees what we became through the perfect work of Christ. Through faith in him, we become pure and blameless. God sees us as holy because of what Jesus became for us. Many writers have explained Jesus’ substitutionary work for sinners. Perhaps none so effectively states it as Luther who wrote, “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 have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not.’” Lakeside’s biennial theme is Become. In a single word, we hope to remind our students and families, our faculty and staff, board members, and those in our federation that we have become righteous through Christ alone. By God’s grace, we have “become the righteousness of God.” This is far better than any earthly gift or achievement. It creates in us godly self-worth and value. It encourages and moves us to glorify Christ through whom we have become righteous. “Whatever became of them?” By God’s grace, we know and believe that all believers have become the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus.
