Whose hands did the nails go through? Not yours, Christ's. Whose warrant
brought the nail into his hand? Not his, he had no sin, yours. That's
called substitution.

And if you ever hear anybody mocking the doctrine of substitutionary
atonement, don't walk away in tears or show them the scriptures. But
don't be sucked into these modern ideas that there is no wrath, God
doesn't have wrath, and therefore there's no need for any penal
punishment substitution. All that is old-fashioned stuff.

It's not. It's Colossians 2.14. Clear as day.
