Substitution Satisfying the Conscience
Leviticus 4:6-7
And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD…


In Passion week as I was reading "Bishop Wilson on the Lord's Supper," I met with an expression to this effect, that — The Jews knew what they did when they transferred their sin to the head of their offering. The thought rushed into my mind, What I may I transfer all my guilt to another? Has God provided an offering for me that I may lay all my sins on His head? Then, God willing, I will not bear them on my own soul one moment longer. Accordingly I sought to lay my sins upon the sacred head of Jesus; and on the Wednesday began to have a hope of mercy; on the Thursday that hope increased, on the Friday and Saturday it became more strong, and on Easter Sunday I awoke early, with these words upon my heart and lips, "Jesus Christ is risen to-day! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" From that hour peace flowed in rich abundance unto my soul.

(C. Simeon.).
