How does Christ bear our iniquity?

Answered in 1 source

Christ bears our iniquity by serving as our High Priest who presents our offerings, sanctifying them through His righteousness and perfect obedience.

The sermon illustrates that Christ, as our great High Priest, upholds the role that Aaron fulfilled in the Old Testament, bearing on Himself the iniquity of our holy things. The preacher delineates how Aaron's forehead bore the inscription 'Holiness to the Lord,' symbolizing that the holiness and acceptance of our offerings before God is anchored in Christ's righteousness. By taking our iniquity upon Himself, Christ not only accepts us but also transforms our imperfect worship into a sweet-smelling aroma before God. This fundamental truth reassures believers that their standing before God is not based on the merit of their works but solely on the sufficiency of Christ's atoning sacrifice, who removes the barriers caused by our sinful nature.
