Sin Laid On Christ
Isaiah 53:6
“The Lord
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” The Lord God has made all
the sins of all his people to meet upon Christ as our Substitute. As a search
light shining down from a helicopter scans the ground, looking for a fleeing
criminal, at last falls upon the guilty one, so the Lord God has caused all the
sins of his elect to fall upon Christ, to meet upon his darling Son, in such a
way that he was “made to be sin for us.” Though
he had no personal sin, though he was and is incapable of sinning, yet, our
Mediator was “made to be sin for us.”
God the Father imputed our sins to him (2 Cor.
