Hugh Binning, Works, p. 422:
Our Lord Jesus Christ enters into a covenant with the Father, wherein he undertakes to bear our curse, and the chastisement of our peace. He is content to be dealt with as the rebel, “Upon me, upon me be the iniquity;” and so there comes an interruption, as it were, of that blessed peace he had with the Father. He is content that there should be a covering of wrath spread over the Father’s love, that he should handle the Son as an enemy; and therefore it is, that sinners are admitted as friends, – his obedience takes away our rebellion. The cloud of the Lord’s displeasure pours down upon him, that it might be fair weather to us; the armies of curses that were against us, encounter him, and he, by being overcome, overcometh; by being slain by justice, Satan, and sin, overcometh all those, and killeth the enmity on the cross, making peace by his blood, Col. 2:14, 15; Eph. 2:15. And it is this sacrifice that hath pacified heaven, – the sweet smell of it hath gone above, and made peace in the high places.
