Iniquity Laid on Christ JESUS
“All
we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the
LORD hath laid on HIM the iniquity of us
all.”
turned every one to his own way; and the
LORD hath laid on HIM the iniquity of us
all.”
-Isaiah
53:6 [KJV]
We trust Christ our risen Savior who died on the cross to put away all our sins. All our sins, not one omitted, were laid upon Him, and He died under the justice of God’s law for us. He became accountable for ALL our sins (sins of omission and commission), all our evil deeds, thoughts, and motives, all our iniquities were “laid on Him.” When He died, did He put ALL our iniquity away, or did He leave part of it to be borne by us? Praise God, HE PUT IT ALL AWAY BY HIS ONE SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! How can we know this for certain? HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD!
We
trust Christ, “Who
was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our
justification” (Romans 4:25). By His experience on
the cross in His actual suffering the full punishment due unto all
the iniquity of all His sheep, He brought in the righteousness by
which God justifies all for whom He died. It is by Him who died and
is raised from the dead that we who are in Him have spiritual life by
His Spirit and shall be raised again at the last day.
