The New Mercy-Seat
Commentators explain that 'propitiation' powerfully alludes to the Old Testament 'mercy-seat'—the lid of the Ark of the Covenant where God's presence met humanity and atonement was made with blood. Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of this symbol. He is the person and place where God's just wrath against sin is satisfied and His mercy is poured out, all because of His sacrificial blood.
