He is the Bridegroom, they make up the bride; and the bridegroom's joy is not in seeing his bride for once on the wedding-day, but he takes delight in her as long as they both live. 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. He shall see his seed; or, "a seed"; a spiritual seed and offspring; a large number of souls, that shall be born again, of incorruptible seed, as the fruit of his sufferings and death; see John 12:24, this he presently began to see after his resurrection from the dead, and ascension to heaven; when great numbers were converted among the Jews, and after that multitudes in the Gentile world, and more or less in all ages; ever since has he had a seed to serve him; and so he will in the latter day, and to the end of time: he shall prolong his days: live long, throughout all ages, to all eternity; though he was dead, he is alive, and lives for evermore; lives to see all the children that the Father gave him, and he has gathered together by his death, when scattered abroad, and see them all born again, and brought to glory.

Love is blind, they say. Do not think that there is a great gulf between you, a living man, and him. Say that sin is not to be punished, and you have unhinged government; you have plucked up the very gate of our commonweal; you have been another Samson to another Gaza; and we shall soon have to rue the day.

And here in Isaiah, outstanding example of clear-cut prophecy. he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth ( Isaiah 53:7 ). Then, my brethren, shall it be seen what Christ's death has accomplished, for "the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.". O sirs, it is contrary to fact.

But then my heart desires to forgive to pass by man's transgressions and pardon them. No; the blood-stained page of that book, the page which makes both past and future glorious with golden words, that blood-stained page, I say, was as much written of Jehovah, as any other. (4.) new york : pott and amery. 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.

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?

And fellowship with God who is holy and righteous cannot be restored until something is done about my sin. Nay, I know not but that I shall have Scripture for my warrant when I say, that this is the very core of predestination, and that the death of Christ is the very center and main-spring by which God did fashion all his other decrees, making this the bottom and foundation-stone upon which the sacred architecture should be builded. But when man turned his back upon God and sinned, fellowship with God was broken. As one that has undertaken for us.

Add to this another matter; namely, that God has absolutely declared his displeasure against sin itself. There are in the world many theories of atonement; but I can not see any atonement in any one, except in this doctrine of substitution. (3.) Hark! . Those who judge him show neither mercy nor justice; they just send him off to be killed. I judge it to be the worst cankerworm that assails us. Christ has died; but still everything that we receive comes to us entirely as a gratuitous outflow of God's great heart of love. Christ will have you, sinner, Christ will have you. 40-66, p. The Son of man had power even on earth to forgive sin. We are all equally responsible for His death. Masoretic Text. His ascension in stately pomp, amidst the acclamations of angels, to the enjoyment of his Father's continued smile, is the sure proof that the work is complete. Why, beloved, it was because the Father bruised him. I wish to-night that I had power to deal with this doctrine as I would. . That a price should be paid and the ransom not consummated?

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 . Do you see, then, how it was that God the Father bruised him? III. The whole work was one of benevolence, and Yahweh was pleased with it as a work of pure and disinterested love. There may be emphasis on the word see - he shall see his posterity, for it was regarded as a blessing not only to have posterity, but to be permitted to live and see them. Beloved, we become, I say again, the followers of Christ by being made partakers of his life, and unless his life be in us, we may say what we will about Christ, and profess what we like about following him; but we are not in the secret. Oh, I was excited. Our Lord's true people are like him, or they could not be styled "his 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. he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed ( Isaiah 53:5 ). So cloth our prophet. See how the cruel iron drags through his tender hands! It is so in pecuniary matters, but it is not so in penal matters. It preserves, however, .

However, as they think further they realize that he is suffering not for his own sins, but for the sins of others; in fact, their sins. "As he is, so are we in this world" that is, we are bent upon the glory of God; filled with love to men, and anxious for their salvation, that God may be glorified thereby. It is a sacrifice for the removal of sin. I wish that every house had in it a large-typed copy of the "Book of Martyrs." 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). "Who shall say it was due to the Divine Father that Christ should be nailed to the accursed tree, to suffer, bleed, and die, and then be cast into the grave? He bore our griefs, and he carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. You are ignorant and unlettered, it may be, and your name will never shine in the roll of science, but he who is the divine Wisdom owns you as one of his seed. "To learn the way!" He waited his forty days, and then, with shouts of sacred song, he "led captivity captive, and ascended up on high." 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. he shall see his seed, and prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 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).

It means that it was by the agency, and in accordance with the design of Yahweh, that he was subjected to these great sorrows. Out of the land of the living. 53:4-9 In these verses is an account of the sufferings of Christ; also of the design of his sufferings. We may observe, in these verses. The first thought suggested by this text is, that Jesus is still alive; for to see anything is the act of a living person. He is the Bridegroom, they make up the bride; and the bridegroom's joy is not in seeing his bride for once on the wedding-day, but he takes delight in her as long as they both live. 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. He shall see his seed; or, "a seed"; a spiritual seed and offspring; a large number of souls, that shall be born again, of incorruptible seed, as the fruit of his sufferings and death; see John 12:24, this he presently began to see after his resurrection from the dead, and ascension to heaven; when great numbers were converted among the Jews, and after that multitudes in the Gentile world, and more or less in all ages; ever since has he had a seed to serve him; and so he will in the latter day, and to the end of time: he shall prolong his days: live long, throughout all ages, to all eternity; though he was dead, he is alive, and lives for evermore; lives to see all the children that the Father gave him, and he has gathered together by his death, when scattered abroad, and see them all born again, and brought to glory. The stream that flowed from his side on Calvary shall cleanse the world from all its blackness. 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. Love is blind, they say. Do not think that there is a great gulf between you, a living man, and him. Say that sin is not to be punished, and you have unhinged government; you have plucked up the very gate of our commonweal; you have been another Samson to another Gaza; and we shall soon have to rue the day. He sees them when they are first born anew. 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. And then, thirdly, the effects and consequences of Christ's death. 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 ). 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. And here in Isaiah, outstanding example of clear-cut prophecy. he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth ( Isaiah 53:7 ). Then, my brethren, shall it be seen what Christ's death has accomplished, for "the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.". O sirs, it is contrary to fact. Christ hath bought a "multitude that no man can number." You wonder whether you will meet with any friend who will help you spiritually. The malice of hell has done all that it could do to destroy the seed of Christ the seed that sprang from his death. (6.) 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. For this purpose he became man, of the substance of his mother, very man, such a man as any of us. But if I am told that I am only sent there as a part of a scheme of moral government, and that I am sent into torment to impress others with a sense of right, I ask that some one else should have the place of preacher to the people, and that I may be one of those whose felicity it shall be to be preached to; for I see no reason in justice why I should be selected as the victim. (asham) (54) denotes both sin and the sacrifice which is offered for sin, and is often used in the latter sense in the Scriptures. It was my sin that brought Him that suffering and that beating and that shame and that reproach. Yes, bless his name, when he died he did not end his life. But then my heart desires to forgive to pass by man's transgressions and pardon them. No; the blood-stained page of that book, the page which makes both past and future glorious with golden words, that blood-stained page, I say, was as much written of Jehovah, as any other. (4.) new york : pott and amery. 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. Many divines say that Christ did something when he died that enabled God to be just, and yet the Justifier of the ungodly. 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. "He shall see his seed." We come now to our fourth remark, THAT CHRIST'S WORK, AND THE EFFECTS OF THAT WORK, ARE NOW COMPLETE. Do not mistake me; that same life which abides in Christ, at the right hand of God, is that everlasting life which he has bestowed upon all those who put their trust in him. [3.] The other idea, that sin is only to be punished for the sake of the community, involves injustice. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
