In His law, God gave the sacrifice to be offered in the place and for the benefit of the one who sinned. The sin of the one for whom it was offered became the sin of the sacrifice. The punishment of the sacrifice was the punishment of the one for whom it was offered. The satisfaction made to God by the offered sacrifice was satisfaction to God for the one in whose place and on whose behalf the sacrifice was offered. The life of the sacrifice was offered up as the life of the one for whom it was offered. The acceptance of the sacrifice was the acceptance of the one for whom it was offered. Knowing this makes the Gospel good news indeed! "Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us" (1 Cor. 5:7). "He died the Just for the unjust, to bring us to God" (1 Pet. 3:18). “Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood...be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (Rev. 1:5-6).
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul" (Lev. 17:11) In His law, God gave the sacrifice to be offered in the place and for the benefit of the one who sinned.
