I believe the idea is that since Jesus took all our sins on himself, he suffered all the punishment for those sins too - ie. eternal suffering times all the people who ever lived.

There is a certain logic to it if you squint really hard and turn your head in exactly the right way.

I don’t buy it myself.

I think it is exactly backwards. Jesus didn’t take our sins. We take his perfection. As a love gift from God.
