"[Jesus] met the full opposition of our enmity to God, and the full opposition of God to our enmity and endured it with joy, refusing to let go of God for our sakes, and refusing to let go of us for God's sake. In laying hold of us as sinners, he judged our sin in himself and reconciled us to God, and in laying hold of God he received his judgment of us upon himself and offered our humanity in himself to the Father."
-Thomas F. Torrance, Atonement: The Person and Work of Christ (IVP Academic, 2009) 151. (Cited in Cruver, ed. Reclaiming Adoption (Cruciform Press, 2011) 46-47.
