God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

This, then, is how Jesus made atonement – how He paid it all. The punishment which was due to us He voluntarily received. The death which was the wages of our sin He underwent. The stripes with which we deserved to be beaten fell upon His willing back. The chastisement which was owing us was borne by Him. The price we would have paid by endless suffering He paid by an infinite sacrifice. It should have been I who cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” It should have been He who said: “I am persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God.” Because Jesus paid it all, it was He who was forsaken and we who never shall be. Because He drank the full cup of divine wrath, we shall never taste it. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.”

John Gerstner

Jesus believed in and experienced the ministry of angels: 1. His conception was announced by an angel (Gabriel). 2. His birth was announced by angels. 3. He was tempted by a fallen angel. 4. He was ministered to by angels subsequent to the temptation. 5. His teaching is filled with references to angelic beings. 6. He experienced the ministry of angels in Gethsemane. 7. He could have appealed to twelve legions of angels (Mt. 26:53). 8. [Angels] were present at His tomb following the resurrection. 9. [Angels] were present at His ascension. The point is that angels were an integral part of Christ’s birth, life, ministry, teaching, death, resurrection, ascension, and will accompany Him at his second advent. To deny the reality of the angelic world is to undermine the integrity of Jesus Himself.
