He must be a Mediator, a peace-maker, to take away the enmity of the parties and reconcile us to God. He must be a Priest and victim, to substitute himself in our room, and make atonement, by enduring the penal sanction of the law. ... In Christ, two natures were necessary for the making of an atonement: a human nature, to suffer; and a divine nature, to give the requisite value to his sufferings.
Francis Turretin — Francis Turretin, On the Atonement of Christ (from Institutio Theologiae Elencticae), tr. James R. Willson (Reformed Dutch Church board ed.).
