D NOW 2027: Exchange
Students in grades 6–12 are invited to Franklin Family Ranch February 12–14 for a weekend exploring how following Jesus means exchanging what the world offers for the greater joy of knowing Him. The cost is $60 by cash or check.
"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ." - Philippians 3:7
What does it mean to exchange? To make an exchange is to swap “this” for “that.” Exchanging is about trading up. It’s giving up something you have for what you want—something better. A better fit. A better option. A better experience. A better deal. A better life.
In every exchange, something must be given up in order for something to be gained. It probably isn’t shocking to learn that when most people make an exchange, very rarely do they give away something they desire for something they don’t. It just doesn’t work that way, does it? But thankfully, Jesus isn’t most people.
At the heart of the Gospel, there is a single, powerful exchange that occurred when a sinless Savior carried the sin of humanity to the Cross and willingly made the exchange of His life for ours. His innocence for our guilt and shame. He traded down so we could trade up. In doing so, Jesus made possible the ultimate exchange that, once embraced, leads to countless other exchanges in the lives of those who will believe and follow Him.
