1 Peter 2:24

1 Peter 2:24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, -

There was a transference of sin from sinners to Christ. This is no fiction. He, "his own self," bore that sin "in his own body on the tree," -

1 Peter 2:24. That we, being dead to sins, -

Because he died for us, and we died in him, -

1 Peter 2:24. Should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

By his sufferings, you were cured of sin. His death not only removed from you the penalty of sin; but what is far better, it also removed from you the dread disease itself.
