Prof. James Denney's "Death of Christ." Part 1.

“...the shadow of the world’s sin lay on it from the first.”  (p. 22).

“The power that is in it is the power of the passion in which the Lamb of God bears the sin of the world.”  p.56.

“...Jesus was taking upon Him the burden of the world’s sin,” p.64.

“...He speaks there of His flesh, which He will give for the life of the world,” (p. 36).

“But if the death of Jesus has eternal significance — if it has a meaning which has salvation in it for all men and for all times;...” (p. 65).

As there is only one God, so there can be only one gospel.  If God has really done something in Christ on which the salvation of the world depends, and if He has made it known, then it is a Christian duty to be intolerant of everything which ignores, denies, or explains it away, (p. 110).

“...the unforced and uncompromising defense of that on which the glory of God and the salvation of the world depends.” (p. 111).

“But Paul could not receive this ritual tradition, and we know he did not, without receiving at the same time the great interpretative words about he new covenant in Christ’s blood, which put the death of Christ, once for all, at the foundation of the Gospel,  (p.113).

“…it is obedience in this unique and incommunicable yet moral calling, to be at the cost of life the Saviour of the world from sin, (p. 126).

“...Yet it is in this immediate inference, that the death of Christ for all involved the death of all.”  (p. 141).

“...’so then all died. ’ This clause puts as plainly as it can be put the idea that His death was equivalent to the death of all; in other words, it was the death of all men which was died by Him. Were this not so, His death would be nothing to them.  … If it is our death that Christ died on the Cross, there is in the Cross the constraint of an infinite love; but if it is not our death at all if it is not our burden and doom that He has taken to Himself there — then what is it to us? His death can put the constraint of love upon all men, only when it is thus judged that the death of all was died by Him. … But it will not be easy for any one to be grateful for Christ’s death, especially with a gratitude which will acknowledge that his very life is Christ’s, unless he reads the Cross in the sense that Christ there made the death of all men His own, (Page 142).
