Substitution is always spoken of in the Word in connection with the family of faith. It is never spoken of in any other way.
The Word of God never says that Christ bore the sins of the whole world.
Propitiation is for the whole world. (1 John 2:22And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2).) That is, Christ has met the claims of God's holy nature and borne the full judgment of sin at the cross, so' that God can in righteousness forgive any poor sinner who will accept the message of His grace.
Let us praise HIM for such grace!
O CHRIST, what burdens bowed Thy head!
Our load was laid on Thee;
Thou stoodest in the sinner's stead-
To bear all ill for me.
A victim led, Thy blood was shed;
Now there's no load for me.
Death and the curse were in our cup-
Christ, 'twas full for Thee!
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop,
'Tis empty now for me.
That bitter cup-love drank it up;
Left but the love for me.
Jehovah lifted up His rod—
O Christ, it fell on Thee!
Thou wast forsaken of Thy God;
No distance now for me.
Thy blood beneath that rod has flowed;
Thy bruising healeth me.
The tempest's awful voice was heard,
Christ, it broke on Thee;
Thy open bosom was my ward;
It bore the storm for me.
Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred;
Now cloudless peace for me.
For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died,
And I have died in Thee.
Thou'rt risen: my bands are all untied:
And now Thou liv'st in me.
The Father's face of radiant grace
Shines now in light on me.
