They Were All Substitutionary

"William Symington rightly affirms,
'In every case He suffered for us, never for Himself'; and he adds, 'Not one throb of pain did He feel, not one pang of sorrow did He experience, not one sigh of anguish did He leave, not one tear of grief did He shed for Himself. If not one of His sufferings was personal, it follows that they were all substitutionary...During the whole period of his [earthly] life the Saviour 'was a-slaying'."
~ The Cross He Bore (p.61)
