God determined what sacrifice would propitiate Him. God determined what sacrifice would satisfy, placate and appease Him. And God determined that it would be the sacrifice of One who is perfect, and therefore He was limited to one Person in the entire universe—one who would become a man and die for man and vindicate God’s justice: His Son. And so it pleased God to bruise Him (Isaiah 53:10) because God is not only angry and vengeful over sin, He is also merciful, gracious, and forgiving. Here is the principle of substitution. God demanded to be satisfied and God determined that the death of His Son would be that satisfaction. The death of Christ was the satisfaction of divine justice.
