Transferring all our guilt

As we draw near to Easter I hope to share a number of quotes on what the cross and resurrection can mean for each one of us.

Here's Charles Simeon for starters,

'In Passion Week, as I was reading Bishop Wilson on the Lord's Supper, I met with 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 came to my mind, What may I transfer all my guilt to another? Has God provided an Offering for me, that I may lay my sins on HIs head? Then, God willing, I will not bear them on my soul one moment longer. Accordingly, I sought to lay my sin upon the sacred head of Jesus.'
