Mark how the rough nails are making the blood flow profusely from his feet! It said, "And they shall look on Him whom they have pierced" ( Zechariah 12:10 ). 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. [1.] Thus the Servants life would not be futile after all. It only proves I may be saved if I mind what I am after. Shall go on in a state of progressive prosperity; and so completely has this been thus far accomplished, that every succeeding century has witnessed more Christianity in the world than the preceding, or any former one. "He has no form nor comeliness." and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Isaiah 53:11. Christ has died; but still everything that we receive comes to us entirely as a gratuitous outflow of God's great heart of love. but you are of his seed who died, and rose, and is gone into glory. There has been a dispute whether men have any innate ideas, but surely this idea is in us as early as anything, that virtue deserves reward, and sin deserves punishment. 9And I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; for he practised no iniquity, nor craft with his mouth. No beauty that we should desire Him. Footnotes. The guilt offering in Israel made reparation, compensation, and satisfaction (Leviticus 5:1-13). And the pleasure of the Lord - That is, that which shall please Yahweh; the work which he desire and appoints. It may be that that will be your first response when you see the marks of the suffering that He bore for you. It is the very same word that Jesus used in the New Testament when talking to His disciples said, "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me" ( John 12:32 ). I will here quote the testimony of that pre-eminently profound divine, Dr. John Owen: "Redemption is the freeing of a man from misery by the intervention of a ransom. If he putteth his life for sin, he shall see (his) seed long enduring, and the will of the Lord shall be (ad)dressed in his hand. We have our natural life, and this makes us men: we have our spiritual life, and this makes us Christians. WHAT myriads of eyes are casting their glances at the sun! In other words, we'll not be attracted to Him by the physical beauty. He made his soul an offering for sin; he himself explains this (Matthew 20:28), that he came to give his life a ransom for many. 53:4-9 In these verses is an account of the sufferings of Christ; also of the design of his sufferings. How no rags of yours are wanted; not a stitch of yours is needed to perfect what Christ has done. By Christina M Wilson. The sense of this verse is, he was subjected to these sufferings, not on account of any sins of his, but because, under the circumstances of the case, his sufferings would be pleasing to Yahweh. They hurry from the house silently and noiselessly, before the mother is awake. Come, now, sir, wilt thou now fall flat at the foot of the cross, and rest thy soul's eternal destiny in the pierced hands of Jesus of Nazareth? He whom God the Father hath accepted as a sin offering hath perfected forever thou who are set apart. Do you ask for a proof of this? Pardon, full and free, is now presented in the name of Jesus, proclaimed to every creature under heaven, for sins past, for sins present, and for sins to come; for blasphemies and murders; for drunkenness and whoredom; for all manner of sin under heaven. He shall see a great increase of them; the word is plural, He shall see his seeds, multitudes of them, so many that they cannot be numbered. . So Christ became the sin offering for us. This study tabulates, classifies, and analyzes the verses of the Septuagint translation of Isaiah where material is added to the Biblical Hebrew text (pluses) or omitted (minuses), and suggests many pluses and minuses are connected with an individual translators literary preferences. According to the will of God because God loved us. [3.] The whole work was one of benevolence, and Yahweh was pleased with it as a work of pure and disinterested love. Christ was an offering for sin, in the sense of a substitute. Wisdom stepped in, and said, "It shall be done thus;" and Love agreed with Wisdom. We must know him, and believe in him, as one that bore our iniquities--saved us from sinking under the load by taking it upon himself. In short, Isaiah teaches that sins cannot be pardoned in any other way than by betaking ourselves to the death of Christ. You hear no shout of exultation.

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. Right? No; my Saviour died, and now I am free from every demand of God's vengeance, and I can walk through this world secure; no thunderbolt can smite me, and I can die absolutely certain that for me there is no flame of hell, and no pit digged; for Christ, my ransom, suffered in my stead, and, therefore, am I clean delivered. If we are not like Christ, it is not possible that we are his seed, for the seed is like the parent. Now we say that Christ was the best person to be a substitute; for just consider what sort of a mediator was needed. These are secured to him by the covenant of redemption, which Isaiah 53:10-12 give us some idea of. The salvation of souls is a great satisfaction to the Lord Jesus.

Secondly, the reason of Christ's death "When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin." He saw they were necessary, and he was willing that he should be subjected to them. This allows me to push my text just one point further. While he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, rags and poverty and sin and filth and all, and he did not wait till he was clean, but ran and fell upon his neck and kissed him, just as he was. And when he has brought a sin-offering, he shall see a numerous posterity, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper through him. The Lord was pleased with his sufferings, not because he has delight in the sufferings of innocence; not because the sufferer was in any sense guilty or ill-deserving; and not because he was at any time displeased or dissatisfied with what the Mediator did, or taught. Christ was punished for you. You see, God created man in the beginning for fellowship. God's good pleasure is, that that this world shall one day be totally redeemed from sin; God's good pleasure is, that this poor planet, so long swathed in darkness, shall soon shine out in brightness, like a new-born sun. Believer, you may be a poor person, living in an obscure lane, but you are of the imperial house. We have crowns infinitely more precious, and we belong to a royal house transcendently more glorious than any of yours. Are you a sinner? But hark! God will be glorified, penitent believers will be justified, and then Christ will be satisfied. '", "Yes, sir," says such a sinner, "I feel that if God should smite me now, without hope or offer of mercy, to the lowest hell, I should only have what I justly deserve; and I feel that if I be not punished for my sins, or if there be not some plan found by which my sin can be punished in another, I cannot understand how God can be just at all: how shall he be Judge of all the earth, if he suffer offenses to go unpunished?" Isaiah 53:9. But somehow we always create sort of a mental image. And when your sin was placed upon Jesus Christ, He was separated from the Father. Christ died for me; that does not prove much. They believe that Judas was atoned for just as much as Peter; they believe that the damned in hell were as much an object of Jesus Christ's satisfaction as the saved in heaven; and though they do not say it in proper words, yet they must mean it, for it is a fair inference, that in the case of multitudes, Christ died in vain, for he died for them all, they say; and yet so ineffectual was his dying for them, that though he died for them they are damned afterward. You shall not stand out against him. Isaiah 53 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? Now all of this written 700 years before Christ was born. And what was meant by a sin-offering? He shall prolong his days Or this spiritual progeny shall prolong their days, i.e., Christianity shall endure to the end of time.

So you call up and you make a date. And now where is the artist that can depict the anguish of the fathers countenance, when the knife is unsheathed, and he holds it up, ready to slay his son? I may be called Antinomian or Calvinist for preaching a limited atonement; but I had rather believe a limited atonement that is efficacious for all men for whom it was intended, than an universal atonement that is not efficacious for anybody, except the will of man be joined with it. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.".
