SA 53:6{Where are your sins? Wherever they are, God's terrible punishment must fall. Even if there were only one sin, and that one hidden away down in your heart, God's wrath must find it out, and punish it. It could not escape. But you know of many more than one; and God knows of more still. And so the great question for you is, Where are they? If He finds them on you, His wrath must fall on you. But if they are put somewhere else, you are safe, for He loves you, and only hates your sins. Where can that wonderful "somewhere else" be? Our text tells you that God laid them on Jesus. Why did His terrible wrath fall on His beloved, holy Son? Because He had laid our sins on Jesus, and He took them, so that all the dreadful punishment might fall on Him instead of us. Instead of you. When He hung by His pierced hands and feet upon the cross, alone in the great darkness of God's wrath, it was because He was bearing your punishment, because your sins were laid upon Him, so that they might not be found upon you, and punished upon you. Satan will try to persuade you not to believe that your sins were laid upon Him, and will try to keep you always doubting it; but God says they were! Which will you believe? Again look at the solemn question, "Where are your sins?" and then look at Jesus, suffering and dying for you, and answer boldly, "The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
"Forgiven until now!" for Jesus died
To take our sins away;
His blood was shed, and still the infinite tide
Flows full and deep today.
He paid the debt; we own it, and go free!
The canceled bond is cast in love's unfathomed sea.
