A love that left people alone in their guilt would not have real people as its object. So, in vicarious responsibility for people, and in His love for real human beings, Jesus becomes the one burdened by guilt.

They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends.
