What is Propitiation? The Sponge Illustration-God's wrath absorbed

A simple explanation of propitiation. We call this illustration "The Sponge" because Christ fully absorbs (like a sponge) the wrath and judgment of God for all believers. God's wrath is propitiated (satisfied).

Scripture ref in video:
Romans 3:23-25 For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

Hebrews 2 :17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

1 John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
