The Scriptures make it clear that Christ bore the weight of humanity’s sin—not symbolically, but in a real and overwhelming way, a burden He accepted out of love. Saint Paul captures this truth with startling clarity: “For our sake, He made Him to be sin who knew no sin” (2 Cor 5:21). In essence, the Father allowed His Son to take upon Himself the full consequences of human rebellion, absorbing the cost of our brokenness.
