Put your hand in My side." The moment you believe in Jesus Christ youare born again. The Church of England was asleep, too; and everywhere it seemed as if there was a kind of orthodox heterodoxy that did not believe anything in particular, and did not hold that there was a doctrine worth anybody's living for or dying for, but that all religious teaching should be like a nose of wax, that you might shape whichever way you liked. And if sin deserve not to be punished, what is Tophet but injustice on a monstrous scale? Alas, the old nature blots and blurs the resemblance! 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. No conversation, nothing. 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! There is one great event, which every day attracts more admiration than do the sun, and moon, and stars, when they march in their courses. Take him to the bath and wash him! Montan. Content: Part Seven. And I suppose he was just as surprised to see me and to see what I look like.So we have in our mind sort of a mental image of what Jesus is going to look like and we sort of imagine just being enthralled with the physical beauty of Christ. He turns to some who look upon him, and exclaims, "I value these iron chains far more than if they had been of gold; it is a sweet thing to die for Christ. And the will of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. 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 ). Be a debtor to that grace to-night. Trust Christ implicitly trust Christ; and all that he did shall cover you, while all that he suffered shall cleanse you. That done, the victim being selected, the offerer put his hand upon the sin-offering and this indeed was the essence of the whole transaction putting his hand on the victim, he confessed his sin, and a transferrence took place, in type at least, from the offender to the victim. The truth will conquer, for God makes it his banner, and his holy arm upholds it; but the end is not yet, unless, indeed, our Lord should suddenly appear. The time is come; the men with the halberts precede him through the streets. By no other means, whatever, could it be said that of one who had poured out his soul unto death that he would "prolong his days." That he bruised him so as to put him to grief. What shall I say of the seed of Christ? The salvation of souls is a great satisfaction to the Lord Jesus. Once, as this writer traveled southward on the Missouri-Pacific from St. Louis to Little Rock, a Unitarian noticed my reading the New Testament; and he said: "You Christians have your arithmetic all wrong. In his whole life he was numbered among the transgressors; for he was called and accounted a sabbath-breaker, a drunkard, and a friend to publicans and sinners. Come as you are just as you are. Secondly, the reason of Christ's death "When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin." [3.] And here it is. To give your wealth is something, if you make yourself poor; but to give your child is something more. He'll be crucified. This is a non-controversial point that basically any scholar, including . (1.) The Son of God faints beneath a cross that many a criminal might have carried. 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. God will be glorified, penitent believers will be justified, and then Christ will be satisfied. 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. 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." For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: now he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him ( Isaiah 52:15 , Isaiah 53:1-2 ). This allows me to push my text just one point further. Now when John was in heaven and he saw the scroll in the right hand of Him who sits upon the throne, and he heard the angel proclaim with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to take the scroll and loose the seals?" The sacrifice of one man would not even wipe out that one man's sins, much less the sins of all men. and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? (6.) So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them they shall see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. Mount Zion; Related Bible parts: Isaiah 3, Isaiah 11, Isaiah 53, Jeremiah 23, Jeremiah 33, Zechariah 3, Zechariah 9, Luke 1, Romans 11, Revelation 22; Notes and references I would have you notice this morning, first of all, the cause of Christ's death "It pleased the Lord to bruise him." They speak of the seed royal. There are a few of the boldest of the saints gathered round the stake, and as he unrobes himself, ere he stands upon the fagots to receive his doom, he tells them that it is a joyous thing to be a soldier of Christ, to be allowed to give his body to be burned; and he shakes hands with them, and bids them "Good by" with merry cheer. ALL of these three . And then, thirdly, the effects and consequences of Christ's death. Over head and ears in debt, plunge yourself by a simple act of trusting in Jesus, and you are saved. Do you know anything about this new birth? Will you be there to answer to your name? The chastisement of our peace "The chastisement by which our peace is effected" - Twenty-one MSS. God's living children may not seem to be quite so handsome, nor so charmingly arrayed as you are, and in their own esteem they may not be worthy to consort with you; but there is a solemn difference between the living child and the dead child, however you may try to conceal it. 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 had but one son, that son his own heart's delight: he covenanted to yield him up for our redemption, nor did he violate his promise; for, when the fullness of time was come, he sent his Son to be born of the Virgin Mary, that he might suffer for the sins of man. It does not of necessity imply that there was any positive and direct agency on the part of Yahweh in bruising him, but only that the fact of his being thus crushed and bruised was acceptable to him. To it, the eyes of all the saints who lived before the Christian era were always directed; and backwards, through the thousand years of history, the eyes of all modern saints are looking. But a little further, Christ's coming into the world to die was the effect of the Father's will and pleasure. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open . If any person think that this language is harsh and disrespectful to Christ, let him descend into himself, and, after a close examination, let him ponder how dreadful is the judgment of God, which could not be pacified but by this price; and thus the inestimable grace which shines forth in making Christ accursed will easily remove every ground of offense. I keep looking out from this pulpit for that small portion of them that may be born in this place; and there are many watchful brethren and sisters here, who try to speak to all that come into the place in whom there are movings of the Spirit. The limit of it is just this: He hath died for sinners; whoever in this congregation inwardly and sorrowfully knows himself to be a sinner, Christ died for him; whoever seeks Christ, shall know Christ died for him; for our sense of need of Christ, and our seeking after Christ, are infallible proofs that Christ died for us. The apparent miscarriage of justice just described (Isaiah 53:9) would not be what it would appear to be. 3But his form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; he was a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for his face is turned from us: he was dishonoured, and not esteemed. The Lord have mercy upon his poor church when she comes to be neither cold nor hot, so that he is ready to spue her out of his mouth! But here the curtain falls. 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." If you have a desire to be saved, a desire given you by the Holy Spirit, that desire is a token for good. Conscious of guilt, and anxious for pardon, therefore he brought a sacrifice, the blood of which should be poured out at the foot of the altar feeling persuaded that without sacrifice there was no satisfaction, and without satisfaction there was no pardon. The Septuagint Version, which is quoted by Philip the deacon in the Acts (Isaiah 8:33), must have been derived from quite a different text. He has a seed even he whom, unseen, we this night adore. Whatever is undertaken according to God's pleasure shall prosper, Isaiah 46:10; Isaiah 46:10. And that's rather tragic. That love which he displayed in his death has touched the mainspring of our being, and moved us with a passion to which we were strangers before; and, because of this, we hate the sins that once were sweet, and turn with all our hearts to the obedience that once was so unpleasant. The first volume contains an important intro-33-Isa-NETS-4.qxd 11/10/2009 10:40 PM Page 824 In the Isaiah 53:19 the prophet had testified very particularly of the sufferings of Christ, yet mixing some hints of the happy issue of them; here he again mentions his sufferings, but largely foretels the glory that should follow. If you don't cushion the blow, a surprise blow that you don't see coming, that's where you get hurt. "As many as looked upon you was shocked when they saw how marred your face was. Brenton's Septuagint & Holy Name King James Version with Strong's numbers in Hebrew. Never think you have any claim to anything because Christ purchased it. The structure of Isaiah also argues for its unity. 4He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in trouble, and in suffering, and in affliction. He has laid upon him heavy sufferings. We are his seed. 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. Christ was an offering for sin, in the sense of a substitute. Ah, well! He is one of those that I'm looking forward to just really spending some time with in the future. Oh, how blessedly bright is he! Shall prosper in his hand. The cross once seen, sin is crucified: the passion of the Master once apprehended as being endured for us, we then feel that we are not our own, but are bought with a price. That hour of mid-day darkness was the rising of a new sun of righteousness, which shall never cease to shine upon the earth. 'Tis manhood suffering there; 'tis the Church suffering there, in the substitute. Mother, you know yourself what a pleasure it has been for you to look at your daughter, and to see her grow up. We could not put him in our stead, but he put himself, and said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit, in a higher sense than David said, or could say it. We are made his seed through his death. new york : pott and amery. Advices to adapt it to the age are temptations to destroy its forge; and to these we can have no respect. I am speechless; conscience binds my tongue. By Christina M Wilson. 6All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord gave him up for our sins. Some are seeking; they have hardly found; they are longing; they have scarcely realized the way of faith. Christ does and will see the blessed fruit of the travail of his soul in the founding and building up of his church and the eternal salvation of all that were given him. And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand; the work of man's redemption, put into the hands of Christ, which he undertook to accomplish; which was with him and before him, when he came into this world, and was his meat and drink to do; this he never left till he had finished it; so that it succeeded and prospered with him: and this may well be called "the pleasure of the Lord"; it was the good pleasure of his will; it was what he purposed and resolved; what his heart was set upon, and was well pleasing to him, as effected by his Son. It is often rendered trespass-offering Leviticus 5:19; Leviticus 7:5; Leviticus 14:21; Leviticus 19:21; 1 Samuel 6:3, 1 Samuel 6:8, 1 Samuel 6:17). The servants suffering and glory (52:13-53:12). 10The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. The first effect of the Saviour's death is, "He shall see his seed." 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. If I am to be damned for the sake of other people, I demur to it. Oh, I was excited. Thus have I expounded the first part of the subject the origin of our Saviour's worst sufferings, the Father's pleasure. "Only his bodily resurrection could serve to fulfill such a prediction as this." 2. There is a bearded patriarch, who rises early in the morning and awakes his son, a young man full of strength, and bids him arise and follow him. And so that we might see the relationship with 53, we will begin our study of chapter 53 with verse Isaiah 52:13 of 52. To bruise him, or his being bruised, was pleasing to Yahweh; that is, it was acceptable to him that he should be crushed by his many sorrows. But He was forsaken of God in order that you won't have to be forsaken by God. 7And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. You know that you could legally and at once demand a receipt and an acquittance from any one who is your creditor, so long as his debt is discharged, though it is discharged by another, and not by you. A God bowing his head, and suffering and dying, in the person of manhood, puts such a singular efficacy into every groan and every pang that it needs not that his pangs should be eternal, or that he should die a second death. The martyrs said not that: God was with them. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. They are enough to kill all hope of better things. Isaiah 52:13 - Isaiah 53. When I say this, I am not to be understood as using any figure whatever, but as saying actually what I mean. 10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes[ a] his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. Multitudes of religious persons are like waxworks, well-proportioned, and you might mistake them by candle-light for life; but in the light of God you would soon discover that there is a mighty difference, for the best that human skill can do is a poor imitation of real life. (3.) 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. And thus the cry, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" O! Dear children of God, do not be afraid that Christ's work will break down because he is dead. The Servant would also accomplish Yahwehs good purpose for His life (cf. It is rendered guiltiness Genesis 26:10; sin Proverbs 14:9; trespass Numbers 5:8. (54) (asham) primarily signifies a trespass or offense, and secondarily a trespassoffering. In Christ there was no fault; why, then, was the Lord pleased that he should suffer? He that wings an angel and guides a sparrow, he that protects the hairs of our head from falling prematurely to the ground, was not likely, when he took notice of such little things, to omit in his solemn decrees the greatest wonder of earth's miracles, the death of Christ. God help you to believe in the Lord Jesus, and so to have eternal life! "He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand." Impossible! Some connect this with the preceding clause, "he shall see a seed that shall prolong its days" b; for Christ will never want issue, his church will never fail, his seed will endure for ever, Psalms 89:29. compelled him to it. 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. 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. Isaiah 53:10New International Version. 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:''. All of these things prophesied in advance. That's sheer unscriptural idiocy. The subject of this sentence, "He" or "His soul," may be Yahweh or the Servant. And now the soldiers lift the cross, and dash it into the socket prepared for it. may you have grace to take it as it is freely presented to you in the gospel. '", "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?" He was despised, and we held him as of no account. 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. I want your imaginations for one minute to picture a scene of olden times. He rose again the third day. The Septuagint was translated in the third and second centuries BC in Alexandria, Egypt. Our Lord Jesus died. 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. Mark the serenity of the martyrs countenance. This mentioned again (Isaiah 53:12; Isaiah 53:12): He bore the sin of many, who, if they had borne it themselves, would have been sunk by it to the lowest hell. And people make mistakes many times in relationships because we relate on the physical, rather than upon the true nature of a person.Now, "He is despised and rejected of men; He is a man of sorrows, He's acquainted with grief.". IV. We come now to our fourth remark, THAT CHRIST'S WORK, AND THE EFFECTS OF THAT WORK, ARE NOW COMPLETE. Because these sorrows would result in the pardon and recovery of an innumerable multitude of lost sinners, and in their eternal happiness and salvation. Oh! 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. When Christ died the angel did not say, as some have represented him, "Now by his death many may be saved;" the word of prophecy had quenched all "buts" and "peradventures;" "By his righteousness he shall justify many.
