The Cross“The Bible speaks with a clear and united witness. Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. The Servant was pierced for our transgressions. He died, as Caiaphas prophesied, in the place of the people. He was set forth as a propitiation for our sins. He became a curse for us, bearing our sins in his body on the tree, drinking the cup of God’s wrath, giving his life as a ransom for many.”

— Steve Jeffery, Michael Ovey and Andrew Sach in Pierced for Our Transgressions. Thanks to Of First Importance for the quote.
