In this episode we build on the previous episode of how Christ became a curse to make contact with those in a cursed condition, so that he could lead them out of - redeem them - from that curse into the blessing of the Spirit. In some ways, what Christ did by becoming a curse is similar to what a therapist does when they intentionally participate in what counselors call "transference". Psychology Today defines transference as "a phenomenon in which one seems to direct feelings or desires related to an important figure in one’s life—such as a parent—toward someone who is not that person." A therapist willingly allows and soemtimes encourages their clients to do this in counseling sessions because they know that it helps their client, as well as the therapist, make contact with the condition the client needs to experience healing in.
The amazing thing is that we, too, can participatewith Christ in this same kind of dynamic by meeting people in their broken condition and walking with them out of that condition - something PAul gives us exlicit instruction in Galatians 6:1-2 on how to do.
Key Passages:
Galtaisn 3:13-4; 6:1-2
Jeremiah 24:0; 29:21-22; 44:8 - passages that speak of someone becoming a curse as that person becoming an example of what people do not want to happen to them.
