How did Jesus take our punishment by dying on the cross?

[TonyChanYT]

Jesus took our punishment of eternal death by sacrificing himself on the cross.

How?

This is the concept of atonement. A type of atonement is described in the OT, the Yom Kippur. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest slaughtered a bull and a goat. He sprinkled the blood against the mercy seat and put some blood on the horns of the altar.

There was a third animal. Lev 16:

21 Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task. 22 The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.

The live goat, the scapegoat, carried away all the sins of the Israelites.

Jesus fulfilled the Yom Kippur ritual by sacrificing himself on the cross to take away our sins. 1 Peter 3:

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death [on the cross] in the body but made alive in the Spirit.

Heb 9:

13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

Lev 16 provided a horizontal reality of the atonement ritual. The true spiritual reality is in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. He died for us to take away our sins so that we are not condemned to eternal death.

Romans 6:

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So, typologically, was Jesus the goat whose blood on the hilasterion cleanses God's people, or the goat who takes God's people's sins away into the wilderness? Or both goats?

And for that matter, is Yom Kippur typology appropriate for an event Jesus synchronized with the Passover, the event which defined God's people?

Jesus was the two goats, the bull, and the high priest.

Interesting question.

I think so. Jesus fulfilled the laws.

Interesting answer.

Romans 6:

Jesus committed no sin. Satan had him murdered. In doing, Satan lost his credibility. That is my understanding.

Romans 6:

Christ accomplished two things by His Incarnated life/death/resurrection. If Christ did not overcome death, this is physical death, the condemnation given to Adam, Gen 3:19, dust to dust, sin becomes irrelevant. That death was actually annihilation of each individual human being. We were created from the earth and to the earth we would return permanently.
By overcoming death by His resurrection Christ needed to perform a sacrifice for sin. Both death and sin would not be removed from this created order until He comes again.
Thus sin would become a problem for man in this life, to have union with God. Thus the sacrifice for sin whereby Christ who becomes our High Priest, can forgive our sins when we confess our sins. Having been forgiven we can continue to abide in Him during one's lifetime.
Overcoming sin is the test of one's faith and continuing to live a life IN Christ.

What has this to do with the topic? The above are two separate issues unrelated to what Christ accomplished by His Incarnation/death/resurrection.

Right. That's exactly why I wrote

i.e., if you are interested. If not, then don't bother.

Its not that I am not interested, but that they don't address the issue with the fall of man and what Christ did to overcome the fall of man.
Prior to my post, all the posters were speaking as if Christ did only one thing which was to perform a sacrifice for sin. This was a secondary work of Christ. The primary was to overcome the condemnation of death.
Here are the texts that support this work, Gen 3:19, Rom 5:12, Rom 5:18, I Cor 15:21-22, I Cor 15:53-54 Heb 2:9, Heb 2:14-16, II Tim 1:10,
Christ came to reconcile the world because the world was subjected to death as well, Rom 8:20, II Cor 5:18-19, Rom 3:24, Rom 5:10, Col 1:20, Eph 2:14-18, Eph 2:1-5.
You all were bypassing the Incarnation of Christ as if it never happened.
