What does the Bible say about Christ being our sin-bearer?

Isaiah 53:6 states, 'All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way, and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.' This illustrates that Christ took upon Himself the sins of humanity, becoming our sin-bearer. The New Testament reinforces this doctrinal truth, particularly in 1 Peter 2:24, which proclaims, 'who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.' This substitutionary atonement is central to the Christian faith and underlines our need for redemption through His sacrifice.
