Put your hand in My side." "God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Do you see, then, how it was that God the Father bruised him? Our Lord Jesus Christ does not look to-day on emptiness: he is not bereaved of his household, but still he sees his seed. The servant is satisfied when he sees the fruits of his suffering, namely, a multitude of spiritual children who are forgiven their sins and accounted righteous before God because of his death (10-11). Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when he shall make his soul an offering for sin ( Isaiah 53:9-10 ). This section of the Prophets, also known as the "Suffering Servant," has been. But this is the thing of marvel, for which heaven and earth shall ring with the praises of the Mediator, that Jesus Christ died for the ungodly, that Jesus Christ gave himself for their sin; not for their righteousness, not for their good deeds. So the Targum, paraphrasing the words of Christ and his seed, "they shall see the kingdom of their Messiah; they shall multiply sons and daughters; they shall prolong their days:''. Do not take anything to Christ. O sirs, it is contrary to fact. May he now be found of them who sought not for him, and he shall have the glory, world without end. Septuagint: Isaiah Polyglot KJV | Tan | Vul. That is why when Peter stood up on the day of Pentecost and talked to the people who were involved in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, he said unto them, "Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was proved to be of God by the signs and the wonders which He did while He was still living with you, whom you according to the predeterminate counsel and foreknowledge of God with your wicked hands have crucified and slain" ( Acts 2:22-23 ). "Only his bodily resurrection could serve to fulfill such a prediction as this." Note, [1.] It has prospered hitherto, and shall prosper, whatever obstructions or difficulties have been, or may be, in the way of it. Persons come into the church with a profession which they never carry out. He's with the rich in His death. It was as if his face were hidden from us. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. "The faithful God of the Bible would certainly not visit bad things on innocent people, would he? 1O Lord, who has believed our report? But hark! Sinner, God will never destroy you merely to maintain his government, or for the good of others. Verse Isaiah 7:25 All the hills where crops used to grow will be so overgrown with thorns that no one will go there. The meaning here is, that the Messiah, though he should be put to death, would yet see great multitudes who should be his spiritual children. If you be destroyed, it shall be because you would not come to him that you might have life; because you would rebel against him; because sin from stern necessity did, as it were, compel the attribute of divine justice to kindle into vengeance, and to drive you from his presence for ever. Those who hate him leave him to die in disgrace like a criminal, but those who love him give him an honourable burial. In short, (asham) is equivalent to the Latin word piaculum, (56) an expiatory sacrifice. Take it as it is. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." And John said, "And I turned and I saw Him as a lamb that hath been slaughtered" ( Revelation 5:2-6 ). So marred that you could not be recognized as a man, as a human being.". (Exodus 29:15) And if a private individual offered a sacrifice, he also laid his hand upon it, as if he threw upon it his own sin. You are neither a Guelph nor a Hohenzollern, but you are a Christian; and that is a greater name than all. His side was pierced; he was given up by the Roman authorities for burial; the imperial authorities were sure of his death. And sometimes the thought carries right through, so that in the dividing of the chapters, they should have ended chapter 52 with verse Isaiah 53:12 . We would not touch them with a pair of tongs! None can be written in the roll of followers of Christ unless they are also written in the register of the family of God "this and that man was born there." There are multitudes of religious people, very religious people; but they are as dead as door-nails. Our Lord said of those not yet converted, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring;" and again, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word." Did he suffer it all? The fact is, that the Father as much decreed salvation, as much effected it, and as much delighted in it, as did either God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 53:10 - But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. Do not doubt this message: God has sent it to you. "Shalls" and "wills" made the covenant fast: Christ's bloody death shall effect its solemn purpose. See 1Peter 1;10-12. Now as a general rule our bodies have an automatic reflex kind of an action, when we see a blow coming we give with the blow so it cushions the blow. "In the fullness of time" God did rend his Son from his bosom, his only-begotten Son, and freely delivered him up for us all. That He might bear my iniquities, my transgressions, my guilt, die in my place in order that through His death I can now come to God and have fellowship with God. Even if they go to bed in the dark, they fall asleep the sooner; but in either case, their Lord will see them if they cannot see him. But he who reads the Bible with the eye of faith, desiring to discover its hidden secrets, sees something more in the Saviour's death than Roman cruelty, or Jewish malice: he sees the solemn decree of God fulfilled by men, who were the ignorant, but guilty instruments of its accomplishment. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled ( Isaiah 52:13 ). You do understand me, I trust, that God must punish sin; that he must punish you for sin unless some one else will suffer in your stead; that Jesus Christ is the person who did suffer in the room and place of all those who ever have believed on him who do believe in him, or ever shall believe in him, making for those who believe on him a complete atonement by his substitution in their place. When he shall have offered his soul as a sacrifice. That would be distinctly true; but the text does not so read. Hast thou piled thy sins together till they seem to provoke heaven? "It pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief." Do you suppose he would have ascended to the rest and to the reward of an accomplished work? Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him - In this verse, the prediction respecting the final glory and triumph of the Messiah commences. Our answer would have been, "No; nobody can trust in a man who is dead." The Word of God is divinely inspired; it's inerrant. He suffered so much for our redemption, that he must love us. If earth should pass away and every creature should be lost, the justice of God must stand, it cannot by any possibility be suffered to be impugned. Believer, you may be a poor person, living in an obscure lane, but you are of the imperial house. God did not send Christ forever into hell; but he put on Christ, punishment that was equivalent for that. Do thy sins touch the clouds? Only read the story of the persecutions under Nero, and under Diocletian, in the olden times, and you will wonder that Christianity survived the cruel blows. It was all, from its Alpha to its Omega, from its divine preface to its solemn finis, marked out, designed, sketched, and planned by the mind of the all-wise, all-knowing God. The blood has filled the fountain full: thou hast but to wash and be clean, and thy sins shall be gone forever. The scripture nowhere says that Christ is his sufferings underwent the wrath of God; but it says here, (1.) Is it not the old proverb that you are not to take coals to Newcastle? "Father, I commit my soul to thee, I deposit it in thy hands, as the life of a sacrifice and the price of pardons." However, many times they made the divisions in the wrong place, and in our reading we are prone to read to an end of a chapter and then quit until the next reading. The grace and glories of his state of exaltation; and the graces he confers on us are not the least of the glories conferred on him. We cost him so much, that he must delight in us. (3.) It has great effect upon men when they are born again, and are saved from the wrath to come, and are full of gratitude on this account; but before that happens, we have known men admire the conduct of Christ, and even write books about the beauty of his character, while, at the same time, they have denied his Godhead. By Christina M Wilson. They will be struck dumb, as it were, as they witness a sight more glorious than they or anyone else could ever have imagined (13-15).Many people find it hard to believe that God will give his servant such power and magnificence, because when they look at the servant they see just an ordinary person of insignificant beginnings. I would have you notice this morning, first of all, the cause of Christ's death "It pleased the Lord to bruise him." You have a great necessity. We have sure and infallible proofs of it. I want us to go back to the Old Testament and reflect on the prophecy of Isaiah 53, which tells the story of Jesus' atonement for our sins long before it happened. His dominion shall be from sea to sea. The great privilege that flows to us from the death of Christ is justification from sin, our being acquitted from that guilt which alone can ruin us, and accepted into God's favour, which alone can make us happy. And yet, without seeing the physical person, it is possible to be in love with an individual and yet not be physically attracted. Have courage, sinner; have courage. Made in all points and like unto us, being a man, and standing exactly in a man's place, becoming a real Adam, as true an Adam as was the first Adam, standing quite in the first Adam's place, he is a fit person to become a substitute for us. And it so often is very shocking when you see the person that you've been listening to. But not for Himself, but for the people" ( Daniel 9:25-26 ). Yes, my brethren, he took the cup, and. from ancient and medieval sources. Why, the parable does not tell us; for it did not run on with the subject to introduce the atonement. Do not think that there is a great gulf between you, a living man, and him. You may stifle this voice, if you will, but sometimes you will hear it; and terribly and decisively will it speak in your ears to say to you, "Yes, man, God must punish you; the Judge of all the earth cannot suffer you to go scot free." Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father, took upon himself the form of man, and offered unto Divine Justice that which was accepted as an equivalent for the punishment due to all his people. The servants suffering and glory (52:13-53:12). The chastisement of our peace "The chastisement by which our peace is effected" - Twenty-one MSS.

Our Lord always has a seed. Many shall be wrought upon by the grace of God to give up themselves to him to be ruled, and taught, and saved by him, and hereby he shall reckon himself honoured, and enriched, and abundantly recompensed for all he did and all he suffered. `` he that believeth and is baptized shall be exalted and extolled ( 52:13...
