“Amid the unfolding horror we do not lose sight of the ultimate perspective, which is victory, not defeat. Jesus has consistently struck this note; his death will be a ‘lifting up’ on the cross, an act of elevation as well as of identification; his crucifixion is his coronation; his cross, his throne.”
Bruce Milne, The Bible Speaks Today
“Now, if I am to show Jesus suffering the penalty of sin, and if I am assured nevertheless that in him there is no sin, and if I find him offering me salvation from sin, it takes no great effort of the intellect to grasp that what nails him to the cross is the sin from which he promises to save me—my sin. Its effects have been diverted from me to him.”
Michael Wilcock, Bible Speaks Today, Luke
“For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
2 Corinthians 5:21
