Christ experienced our judgment and merited for us his righteousness. This is the message of the cross.
Jesus is pointing out the hypocrisy of following man-made regulations and rules but ignoring the heart of the law of God, which is to love him and love neighbor.

How God’s Son can look like us, talk like us, and feel like us is a great mystery. But by faith, we can know him like this, as he truly is.
He himself is there, washing away our sins with the water and feeding our souls in the bread and wine, assuring us that he is with us always, by the Spirit, to the end of the age.
