Jesus is...

Lev. 16:20-22
And when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat.  Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man.  The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

Jesus became our scapegoat; He was not guilty but bore our sins anyway, allowing us to escape from the consequences of our transgressions.  He was the Perfect Sacrifice so we didn't have to provide continual sacrifices for our sins for the rest of our lives.  He died once for all so we could live.
