How do we know Jesus took on the weight of our sins?

Scripture reveals that Jesus, while being sinless, willingly took upon Himself the sins of His people, undergoing unimaginable suffering. Isaiah 53:6 reminds us that 'the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.' In Gethsemane, this truth manifests as Jesus experiences the awful weight of sin and its consequences, leading Him to such agony that He sweat blood. As described, Matthew's account emphasizes the torment Jesus faced as He was 'exceeding sorrowful,' indicating that He was in a state of deep distress, grappling with the impending crucifixion's horrors. His sorrow is not merely emotional but is interwoven with the crushing reality of bearing God's wrath as the perfect sacrifice.
