Christ has become one with sinners,
Sharing in all of our living;
Crucified even for sinners,
Glorious life to us giving.

O yes, for us, for us, for us.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21 the apostle Paul says: Him who did not know sin He made sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Christ did not know sin in an experiential way by contact or personal experience.
Sin came from Satan, who rebelled against God (Isa. 14:12-14). This sin, which came out of the evil one, entered into man (Rom. 5:12) and made man not only a sinner but sin itself under God’s judgment. Hence, when Christ became a man in the flesh (John 1:14), He was made sin (not sinful) on our behalf to be judged by God (Rom. 8:3) that we might become God’s righteousness in Him.

Christ has always wanted to be one with us poor sinners. He is the embodiment of the Triune God.
In the New Testament He is the eternal God who became flesh to live among sinners and eventually save them.
In the Old Testament He is the Angel of Jehovah. This Angel is just God Himself in His Divine Trinity serving His elect as a Servant.
When God sees the situation of His people whom He loves is so poor,
(Judges 2), He commissions and appoints Himself to become a servant to them.
God's desire is and always has been to care for His people by being one with them.
How encouraging!
