PROPITIATION
In the process of satisfying justice
and reconciling man to God in matters of sin and transgression, some payment or
ransom had to be offered for human errors. A propitiation is that
appeasement or agreed-upon peace offering, a role only Jesus was pure enough
and willing enough to play.
