Christ was a token, their was no real punishment, it was just to uphold the example of the Law. He didn't sin so it wasn't punishment.

"atonement or appeasement"
– Christ’s own blood is the offering of propitiation (Rom.
3:25)
– Also idea of mercy seat, the place of propitiation (Heb. 9:5)

satisfied by Christ’s death |

sin, in order to be transferred to freedom, people first must
be purchased.

release |
