But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53 v5

The exchange at The Cross

The transaction made for us From the ministry of Derek Prince   (Available on audio medium) At the cross  Jesus made an exchange for us  All the evil due to us came on Him     All the good due to Him came on us.

Isaiah says (prophetically) of Him,  "All we like sheep have gone astray.  We have turned every one to his own way.   And the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."

The original Hebrew word for iniquity is abon which means - guilt, iniquity, rebellion and the consequences of this rebellion  (turning to our own way).
