How did Christ take on the bitterness of our sin?

Answered in 1 source

Christ bore our sins through imputation, His incarnation, and by being obedient unto death.

Christ took on the bitterness of our sin in three profound ways as explained in the sermon. First, the imputation of our sins to Him enabled Him to bear the weight of our collective guilt before God. This was established before the foundation of the world, showcasing God’s sovereign grace. Second, through the incarnation, Christ lived among sinners, fully participating in human experience while remaining sinless, thereby fulfilling the law. Third, He obediently endured the bitter suffering of death to satisfy divine justice. His sacrifice not only appeased God’s wrath but also provided a means through which our sins are forgiven and replaced with His righteousness. This process ultimately reveals the sweet mercy of God in salvation.
