"God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The moment you believe in Jesus Christ youare born again. "It pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief." So may it be in your heart towards all those that belong to Christ! +. If you don't cushion the blow, a surprise blow that you don't see coming, that's where you get hurt. On the way, that patriarch speaks not one solitary word to his son. According to the margin, Yahweh himself speaks, and the idea is, that his soul should make an offering for sin. The sufferings of Christ are signified by his being "bruised"; ( See Gill on Isaiah 53:5 ), and as it was foretold he should have his heel bruised by the serpent, ( Genesis 3:15 ) , but here it is ascribed to the Lord: he was . There is a martyr in prison: the chains are on his wrists, and yet he sings. "Hear not all these things they accuse Thee of? That would be distinctly true; but the text does not so read. Some refer it to believers: He shall see a seed that shall prolong its days, agreeing with Psalms 89:29; Psalms 89:36, His seed shall endure for ever. On this I shall be very brief. [2.] God help you to believe in the Lord Jesus, and so to have eternal life! They see nothing in his appearance that is impressive or attractive. It is an historical fact, better proved than almost any other which is commonly received as historical, that he did really rise again from the grave. Isaiah 53:10 Hebrew though you make; Isaiah 53:11 Dead Sea Scrolls (see also Septuagint); Masoretic Text does not have the light of life. Being separated from God. . Has man cast thee out? How could he do that? The sacrifice of one man would not even wipe out that one man's sins, much less the sins of all men. If I am to be cast into hell merely that I am to teach to others the tremendousness of the divine holiness, I shall say there is no justice in this; but if my sin intrinsically and of itself deserves the wrath of God, and I am sent to perdition as the result of this fact, I close my lips, and have nothing to say. But don't worry, those that turned Me over to you have the greater sin than you do. I have profited greatly from R. R. Ottley, The Book of Isaiah according to the LXX (Codex Alexandrinus) (3 vols; London: Cambridge University Press, 1904-1906). He suffered so much for our redemption, that he must love us. When thou shalt make his soul - "If his soul shall make"] For tasim, a MS. has tasem, which may be taken passively, "If his soul shall be made - "agreeably to some copies of the Septuagint, which have . His soul - The word rendered here soul ( nephesh) means properly breath, spirit, the life, the vital principle Genesis 1:20-30; Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:11; Deuteronomy 12:23. But who hath believed our report? I know," says he, "that Christ can not be punished in a man's stead, and the man be punished afterwards. The pronoun "he" as well as the "we" and "our" and "thou" have all . Our Lord always has a seed. No more drops of blood; no more pangs of heart; no more bitterness and darkness, with exceeding heaviness, even unto death, are needed. Is this the experience of our life in Christ? Childrens children are the crown of old men Proverbs 17:6. Yet all this must be made true, and innumerable other absurdities, if universal redemption be asserted. (3.) Do you feel it? I am not yet an old man, as some suppose from the many years of my ministry, but I am often looking forward to that blessed morning, when all the sacred seed shall meet around the throne. Isaiah 53:10 Surely this can only mean that God beat Jesus up?! Never think you have any claim to anything because Christ purchased it. He looks upon Him and says it was worth it all because of the redemption that He is able to offer to us. And that's when you get laid out of the game. 5 But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his bruises we were healed. 2. 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. All of these things prophesied in advance. It was the sovereign degree of heaven which constituted Christ the great substitute for his people. The deuterocanonical books (from the Greek meaning "belonging to the second canon") are books and passages considered by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Assyrian Church of the East to be canonical books of the Old Testament, but which Protestant denominations regard as apocrypha.They date from 300 BC to 100 AD, mostly from 200 BC to 70 . Oh, how blessedly bright is he! Think you he would have returned thither with unexpiated sin red upon his garments? Christ becomes a substitute for us. But a little further, Christ's coming into the world to die was the effect of the Father's will and pleasure. Well do I recollect, as a child, how man hours, how many days, I spent looking at the pictures in an old-fashioned "Book of Martyrs," and wondering how the men of God suffered, as they did, so bravely. Christ was sent into the world by his Father, as the consequence of the Father's affection for his people. And yet, it is interesting how so often today we only associate love with physical attraction, and not with the person themselves. So marred that you could not be recognized as a man, as a human being.". Look ye there, and see the place where his only Son hung dead upon the cross, the bleeding victim of awakened justice! 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. The servants suffering and glory (52:13-53:12). If ye can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed." Isaiah 53:10 Septuagint. new york : pott and amery. Surely He hath borne our griefs, carried our sorrows. 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! He subjected himself to that which to us is the wages of sin (Isaiah 53:12; Isaiah 53:12): He has poured out his soul unto death, poured it out as water, so little account did he make of it, when the laying of it down was the appointed means of our redemption and salvation. Do you see, then, how it was that God the Father bruised him? The gift of a Saviour, such as he was, evinced boundless benevolence; his sufferings in behalf of the guilty showed the holiness of his nature and law; and all demonstrated that he was at the same time disposed to save, and yet resolved that no one should be saved by dishonoring his law, or without expiation for the evil which had been done by sin. In what sense could it be said of Ignatius or Cranmer that their souls or lives were made an offering ( 'asham or hilasmos) for sin? In short, (asham) is equivalent to the Latin word piaculum, (56) an expiatory sacrifice. Hence it follows that nowhere but in Christ is found expiation and satisfaction for sin. God the Father has engaged to reward the services and sufferings of Christ with great glory: "I will set him among the great, highly exalt him, and give him a name above every name." Do you suppose he would have ascended to the rest and to the reward of an accomplished work? 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. If you do not want it it is no hardship that it is not provided for you; but if you really feel that you want it, you are God's elect. This cannot be accomplished by sacrifices contrived according to the fancy of men. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them . I am reminded, by the effect which it had upon my mind, of what was said of a certain ancient church in this city of London, which was greatly persecuted. That is, really an attractive, desirable or attracting feature. If he can see the guy coming, you just sort of, you reflex action to it and you sort of go with it. and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Crush him as you will, and make him feel in his life every pang which flesh is heir to, but he can only suffer what one man would have suffered. Now, my second point is, THAT POSTERITY OF HIS REMAINS. You have a great necessity. For Easter, therefore, I want to focus on three textual problems in Isaiah 52:13-53:12 or what is called Isaiah's "Fourth Servant Song" (the other three are 42:1-4, 49:1-6, and 50:4-9) to show that this text teaches and predicts the vicarious death, burial, and resurrection of the Servant, three key pillars to the gospel of Christ . What faith and obedience made man do, that love constrained God himself to do. He shall see his seed, number his followers in the countless millions; he shall prolong his days, be raised from the dead; the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand, 1e., righteousness shall prosper in the world; he shall justify many, 1e., countless millions shall be saved from their sins through him; I will divide him a portion with the great, Jesus Christ shall attain worldwide and perpetual "greatness." There was no dealing with us by a just God until the atoning Sacrifice had rolled away the stone that blocked the way, namely, the necessity that sin should be punished. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. He is still ready to be your strong Helper, and to do for you what he did for needy ones in the days of his sojourn here below. III. In a word, the redemption wrought by Christ being the full deliverance of the persons redeemed from all misery, wherein they were inwrapped, by the price of his blood, it can not possibly be conceived to be universal unless all be saved: so that the opinion of the Universalists is unsuitable to redemption.". Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV LXX See also. Any fool might know that God would accept a perfect man. 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. The Septuagint reads it, "He shall see a long-lived seed." But please to observe (see if you cannot throw your grappling-hooks upon this), the dignity of his sacred person made him the most proper person for a substitute. my brethren, I want to take you from this scene to a far greater one. He has a seed even he whom, unseen, we this night adore. [2.] Jesus is not blind; but he does see in his people much more than they ever will see in themselves. An offering for sin - ( 'asham). Men have offspring by life; Christ had an offspring by death. It is so in pecuniary matters, but it is not so in penal matters. If I owe a man twenty pounds, it is no matter to him whatever who shall pay the twenty pounds so long as it is duly paid. The first effect of the Saviour's death is, "He shall see his seed." And it is interesting to watch their shocked expressions when they see me. 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. This was the promise made to Abraham (who herein was a type of Christ), that he should be the father of many nations and so be the heir of the world,Romans 4:13; Romans 4:17. You will have enough if you only read Foxe's "Book of Martyrs." 5But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his bruises we were healed. He had laid in Jehovah's bosom from before all worlds, eternally delighting himself in his Father, and being himself his Father's eternal joy. Do not let your faith be a sort of dead faith dealing with a dead man; let it be instinct with life, with warm blood in its veins. Why did God provide a sin-offering but for sinners? Seeing ones offspring was a blessing on those whom God favored (cf. He claps his hands right merrily, and smiles while he says, "It will be sharp work to-morrow, I shall breakfast below on fiery tribulations, but afterward I will sup with Christ. We have seen how fit and proper a person he was to be such. Those blindsides are the really thing that will put you out.Now with Jesus as they covered His face and began to buffet Him, no way to feign or to give with the blow, and thus His face must have been horribly disfigured. That prayer was the language of his blood, crying, not for vengeance, but for mercy, and therein it speaks better things than that of Abel, even for those who with wicked hands shed it. God's purposes shall take effect, and not one iota or tittle of them shall fail. "Rivers unknown to song, are not unknown to God." Look upon the whole transaction of a substitute, and of Christ becoming the second Adam, as being a matter of pure, rich, free, sovereign grace, and never indulge the atrocious thought, I pray you, that there was justice, and justice only here; but do magnify the love and pity of God in that he did devise and accomplish the great plan of salvation by an atoning sacrifice. He was despised, and we held him as of no account. Why, beloved, it was because the Father bruised him. If the sovereign should permit another to suffer in his stead, it must be the sovereign's own act and deed. What is the gospel? The death of Christ is traceable to God the Father. The Son of God faints beneath a cross that many a criminal might have carried. In Christ there was no fault; why, then, was the Lord pleased that he should suffer? You may put away your crowns, ye kings and emperors earth, yellow earth, hammered, and decorated, with other sparkling bits of soil you may put them all away, as altogether outdone in value! Herein was matchless, peerless love, that the offended judge should permit his co-equal Son to suffer the pains of death for the redemption of a rebellious people. Thus the Servants life would not be futile after all. That event is, the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, still the lukewarm can be heated: the cause is not dead. That knowledge of Christ, and that faith in him, by which we are justified, have reference to him both as a servant to God and as a surety for us. compelled him to it. Great riches are also assigned to him: He shall divide the spoil, shall have abundance of graces and comforts to bestow upon all his faithful soldiers. And they shall say unto Him, "What are the meaning of these wounds in Your hands?" For you remember Thomas said, "Except I can put my fingers into His hand and thrust my hand into His side, I won't believe" ( John 20:25 ). WHAT WAS THE REASON OF THE SAVIOUR'S SUFFERING? His bones are every one of them dislocated, and his body is thus torn with agonies which can not be described. The salvation of souls is a great satisfaction to the Lord Jesus. Now, beloved, this is all through his death. Come as you are just as you are. And now the soldiers lift the cross, and dash it into the socket prepared for it. Taking our text, then, as a guide, we propose to visit Calvary, hoping to have the help of the Holy Spirit whilst we look upon him who died upon the cross. "What for?" There is a stern compression of his face, as if unutterable agony were tearing his heart as if over again Gethsemane were being acted on the cross as if his soul were still saying, "If it be possible let this cross pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." It does not say that he shall see his seed for so long, and then no longer; but it stands as a prophecy fulfilled, always fulfilling, and always to be fulfilled: "He shall see his seed." He shall see his seed." He hath put him to grief - This word, hath grieved him, is the same which in another form occurs in Isaiah 53:4. He has gone out of the land of tears and death. In the Greek Septuagint we see the true reading of Isaiah 53:10. Go and preach this in hell, and you will have quenched the fire which is forever to burn, and the worm of conscience will die. Isaiah 53:8). He died to purchase and purify them to himself, fell to the ground as a corn of wheat, that he might bring forth much fruit,John 12:24. The translation of Isaiah contains allusions to historical situations and events that point to the years 170-150 BCE" (Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible, Emanuel Tov, p 131, 2012). Go to your own Christ, your living Christ; make him your familiar Friend, the Acquaintance of your solitude, the Companion of your pilgrimage. Mark, not a chance salvation. Read full chapter. (1.) 2We brought a report as of a child before him; he is as a root in a thirsty land: he has no form nor comeliness; and we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty. (4.) . Our text gives this a full solution, in that it says, "He shall make his soul an offering for sin." Brethren, pray for me, and all who are faithful to the truth of God, that we may be upheld in our steadfastness. 1. "It pleased the Lord to bruise him, he hath put him to grief.". And that's all I needed. Oh, I was excited. It is a loving voice which speaks to you, and that would speak, perhaps, better and more forcibly if it were not choked with love. ; Isaiah 53:11 Or (with Masoretic Text) 11 He will see the fruit of his suffering / and will be satisfied; Isaiah 53:11 Or by knowledge of him; Isaiah 53:12 Or many; Isaiah 53:12 Or numerous You have come in to the place where prayer is wont to be made, burdened and troubled, and you seek relief; let the thought that your Lord is a living Friend ease you of your burden.
