From Curse to Blessing

Описание: Let me state it very briefly.
God laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all.
The word iniquity could also be translated rebellion.
Our rebellion, the rebellion of the entire sin-cursed, Adamic race came upon Jesus at the cross by divine appointment.

Now that's the negative side of the exchange.
The positive side is that in return
all the good that was due to the sinless obedience of Jesus
might be made available to us.

Let me put it more simply still.
God visited upon Jesus the evil due to us.
that in return he might make available to us
the good due to Jesus.
Let me say it more briefly still.
The evil came upon Jesus that the good might be made available to us.

The word iniquity could perhaps be translated rebellion.
And in studying the Old Testament
this word means two things, which are closely related.
First of all rebellion, and all the evil consequences and judgments that come with rebellion.
And this is how we need to understand it in this context.
God visited on Jesus our rebellion,
and then he endured all the evil consequences of our rebellion, which by justice should have come upon us.
And from whatever aspect you view the cross,
you see this truth of a divinely ordained exchange,
the evil coming upon Jesus that the good might be offered to us.
