How does the concept of substitution relate to Christ's sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s sacrifice is described as substitutionary, meaning He died in the place of His people, offering redemption through His blood.

The concept of substitution is foundational in sovereign grace theology, as seen in John 10:11, where Jesus, the Good Shepherd, lays down His life for the sheep. This act of substitution means that Jesus took upon Himself the penalty for the sins of His people, dying in their stead. Revelation 19:13, which mentions Him being clothed in a vesture dipped in blood, symbolizes the sacrificial nature of His death—shedding His blood for redemption. This perspective highlights God’s justice and mercy, showing how Christ, as the ultimate substitute, satisfies divine justice while providing salvation for the elect.
