And John said, "And I turned and I saw Him as a lamb that hath been slaughtered" ( Revelation 5:2-6 ). "Now we are told in the gospel that they covered His face and they began to buffet Him. The most scrupulous care was taken that it should be altogether without blemish; for this idea was always connected with a sin-offering, that it must be sinless in itself; and being without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, it was held to be a competent victim to take the offender's place. Wisdom stepped in, and said, "It shall be done thus;" and Love agreed with Wisdom. They nail him to the tree. I pray that it may be so. But, "He opened not His mouth.". And we shouldn't seek to blame someone else for our own guilt and to persecute someone else for that for which we are ourselves responsible. Yet come, and welcome; for God has provided a sin-offering. And that's all I needed. To this clause some supply the relative (asher,) which: A seed which shall be long lived. But I expound it in a more simple manner, Christ shall not be hindered by his death from prolonging his days, that is, from living eternally. Some persons, when departing from life, leave children, but children who shall survive them, and who shall live so as to obtain a name only when their fathers are dead. Why doth the Saviour suffer so? Yes, and ever afterward, wherever his seed may wander, he still sees them. I want even you, who do not know him, to remember that he lives, that you may seek him to-night that ere another sun shall rise you may find him, and, finding him, may yourselves be found, and saved. When thou shalt make his soul - Margin, His soul shall make. According to the translation in the text, the speaker is the prophet, and it contains an address to Yahweh, and Yahweh is himself introduced as speaking in Isaiah 53:11. There was our debt; huge and immense; he paid the utmost farthing of whatever his people owed; and now there is not so much as a doit or a farthing due to the justice of God in the way of punishment from any believer; and though we owe God gratitude, though we owe much to his love, we owe nothing to his justice; for Christ in that hour took all our sins, past, present, and to come, and was punished for them all there and then, that we might never be punished, because he suffered in our stead. It must be the character of God, that he has a desire to do towards his creatures that which is equitable. Surely, children are like their father not all to the same degree; but still there is the evidence of their sonship in their likeness to him from whom they came. This we must inherit, as a son follows his father's business. Oh! It says, "He shall see his seed." Mark the serenity of the martyrs countenance. Some of you, perhaps, have lived long in England, but you are contemplating going far away to Australia or America. I do implore you, do not look upon the sacrifice of Christ as an act of mere vengeance on the Father's part. And so Jesus said, "I came not to do My own will but the will of the One who sent Me" ( John 6:38 ). Why, beloved, it was because the Father bruised him. If God's appointed Christ could suffer in thy stead, is it not enough? Not as some tremendously physical, robust, handsome creature that we all sort of envision Jesus to be. Christ was so perfectly well qualified for his undertaking, and prosecuted it with so much vigour, and it was from first to last so well devised, that it could not fail to prosper, to the honour of his Father and the salvation of all his seed. The Son of God faints beneath a cross that many a criminal might have carried. We know that he died. II. He did, as it were, put the sin from off his own shoulders on to those of the lamb, or the bullock, or the he-goat which was now about to be slaughtered. He shall see it beforehand (so it may be understood); he shall with the prospect of his sufferings have a prospect of the fruit, and he shall be satisfied with the bargain. The structure of Isaiah also argues for its unity. And fellowship with God who is holy and righteous cannot be restored until something is done about my sin. 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. I judge it to be the worst cankerworm that assails us. God is willing to wait. Men have offspring by life; Christ had an offspring by death. 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. Upon Christ, the angels in heaven perpetually gaze. It was for our sins, and in our stead, that our Lord Jesus suffered. That was the purpose of God when He created man-that God might be able to fellowship with man. "Shalls" and "wills" made the covenant fast: Christ's bloody death shall effect its solemn purpose. Can you think how overwhelming must have been the love of God toward the human race, when he completed in act what Abraham only did in intention? But, sirs, I need not stop to prove it; it is written clearly upon the consciousness of each man, and upon the conscience of every one of us, that sin must be punished. On the contrary, when they see the extent of his sufferings they turn away from him in disgust, like people repelled by the sight of a diseased person (53:1-3).At first those who see the servants intense suffering think that he is being punished by God for some wrong he has done. Surely He hath borne our griefs, carried our sorrows. 8:1 Yahweh said to me, 'Take a large seal and scratch on it in ordinary writing MAHER-SHALAL-HASH-BAZ. There was needed, also, one of the same nature with us. One effect of Christ's death is the salvation of multitudes. III. O you that are the seed of Christ, go out and magnify him by your lives! 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. Because he has done all these good services, therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and, according to the will of the Father, he shall divide the spoil with the strong, as a great general, when he has driven the enemy out of the field, takes the plunder of it for himself and his army, which is both an unquestionable evidence of the victory and a recompense for all the toils and perils of the battle. He hungers; he thirsts, he fears, he weeps, he rejoices, he loves, he dies. A price is paid for all, yet few delivered; the redemption of all consummated, yet, few of them redeemed; the judge satisfied, the jailer conquered, and yet the prisoners inthralled! Go to your own Christ, your living Christ; make him your familiar Friend, the Acquaintance of your solitude, the Companion of your pilgrimage. Septuagint Chronicles is quoted by Eupolemos in the middle of the 2nd century BC, and Septuagint Job by Pseudo-Aristeas in the beginning of the 1st century BC. (5.)

But surely in that suffering, in that death. The KJV's translation of vv. The Word of God is divinely inspired; it's inerrant. or, "hath put [him] to pain": suffered him to be put to pain, both in body and mind: when thou shall make his soul an offering for sin: not his soul only, but his body also, even his whole human nature, as in union with his divine Person; for it was he himself that was offered up in the room and stead of his people, to make atonement and satisfaction for their sins, Hebrews 9:14, or, "when thou shalt make his soul sin" z; so Christ was made by imputation, 2 Corinthians 5:21, and when he was so made, or had the sins of his people imputed to him, then was he bruised, and put to pain and grief, in order to finish them, and make an end of them, and make reconciliation for them: or, "when his soul shall make an offering" a "for sin", or "sin" itself; make itself an offering; for Christ offered up himself freely and voluntarily; he gave himself an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweetsmelling savour, Ephesians 5:2, he was altar, sacrifice, and priest.

We read just now that the Lord Jesus has disciples. Surely he's a spiritual giant. from Jerusalem a passage which nine times mentions and describes the suffering "Righteous Servant" and His substitutionary and sacrificial death for our sins and transgressions. This perception of redeeming love, in the death of our Lord Jesus, makes all the difference: this prepares us for a higher and a better life than we have ever known before. And they should have started chapter 53 with verse Isaiah 52:13 , because the last three verses here definitely fit in with Isaiah 53:1-12 .
