Christ gave Himself, an atoning sacrifice, for the saving of a lost world. He was treated as we deserve, in order that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. “With His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5. {8T 208.3}

[Kristus gav sig selv som et sonoffer for at frelse en fortabt verden. Han blev behandlet, som vi fortjener, for at vi kunne blive behandlet, som han fortjener. Han blev fordømt for vore synder, som han ikke havde nogen del i, for at vi måtte (209) kunne retfærdiggøres ved hans retfærdighed, som vi ikke havde nogen del i. Ham led den død, som tilkom os, for at vi måtte kunne erholde det liv, som tilhørte ham. »Vi fik lægedom ved hans sår.« Es. 53,5. Vejl f menigh bd. 1 side 196]
