J.C. Philpot
The cross was the place on which this sacrifice was offered; for as the blood of the slain lamb was poured out at the foot of the altar, sprinkled upon its horns, and burned in its ever-enduring fire, so our blessed Lord shed His blood upon the cross. He there endured the wrath of God to the uttermost; He there put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself; He there offered His holy soul and body, the whole of His pure and sacred humanity, in union with his eternal Deity, as an expiation for the sins of His people.
