We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:6 NIV
Its our self orientation, our desire to rule ourselves, our self-ishness, thats what leads us astray...the desire to be our own god, or to make one in our image, one we can control, who does what we want... we want to go our own way... & that separates us from God.
To restore that relationship someone had to pay.
Forgiveness is costly.
Think of a time when you've truly forgiven someone who's hurt you, caused a loss...

It's costly...  you've absorbed their sin against you.
And that's what was laid on Jesus on the cross...He absorbed all our sin - for all of us...
