Charles Simeon, when young, read in a book that the Jews knew what they did, when they transferred their sin to the head of their offering.
The thought rushed into his mind—What! may I transfer my guilt to another? Has God provided an Offering for me, that I may lay my sins on His head?
Then, God willing, I will not bear them on my own soul one moment longer; for I see that God laid my sins on Jesus!
