What does it mean that Christ bears the iniquity of His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ bears the iniquity of His people through His holiness, allowing Him to be the perfect sacrifice for sin.

Christ being able to bear the iniquity of His people is a profound truth tied to His personal holiness. In Exodus 28, the high priest's attire symbolizes his role in bearing the sins of Israel while remaining acceptable to God. In a similar manner, Christ, in His perfection and holiness, carries the sins of His people and presents them to God, reconciling believers through His sacrifice. This profound act demonstrates the nature of sin's payment and the beauty of the gospel—the holy Christ could bear the weight of our sins because He Himself was without sin. This reality underscores the scope and depth of salvation that is only available through Him.
