The meaning of the atonement

“..the meaning of atonement is not to be found in our penitence evoked by the sight of Calvary, but rather in what God did when in Christ on the cross He took our place and bore our sin.”

- John Stott, The Cross of Christ (Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1986), 9.
