Vicariousness of Christ's Sacrifice
Here We Stand
Pastor Martin begins filling in the completed sentence: Christ offered Himself to make an objective, vicarious, penal satisfaction for the sins of His people. He unpacks the first two words. 'Objective' means Christ was dealing with the real God and real sin, not phantom notions. 'Vicarious' means in the room and place of another, established by Old Testament typology, by explicit bearing-language (Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:13), and by the prepositions huper and anti in the New Testament.
