Every object is somewhere; no material thing can be nowhere.
IF I take a book in my hand and later want to lay it down I cannot lay it nowhere. I must lay it on a table, or a chair, or on the floor, or on something. I cannot just let it drop to nowhere! The same thing is true about sins. They are either on you, or on someone else. You cannot wish them away to nowhere, as perhaps you would like to do.
We know, because God’s Word says so, that all are sinners (Romans 3: 23). We know, too, that every sin must be punished, because God is perfectly holy, and so He cannot just forget all about our sins. But God did not want to separate us from Himself forever. He loved us, even when we were sinners (Romans 5:8). So He made a way to take our sins from us, and yet be perfectly just. He found a place to put our sins. It was on the Lord Jesus Christ. He was willing to take a human body and a human nature in order to die for our sins.
