Jesus
Suffered for our sins
This describes an ordinary human, rejected
by His Own people, brutally slaughtered like a lamb, buried in a rich man's grave, the Savior Who paid the penalty for the
sins of humanity. It describes Jesus Christ perfectly:
“Look, My servant will prosper,
will grow great, will rise to great heights.
As many people were aghast at Him-He was so inhumanly disfigured, that He no longer
looked like a man. So many nations will be astonished and kings will stay tight-lipped before Him, seeing what
had never been told them, learning what they had not heard before.
Isaiah 52:13-15
"For He grew up before
Him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; He had no form or comeliness (He wasn’t pleasing and wholesome in appearance; attractive.) that we should
look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not."
"Surely He has borne our grief and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed
Him stricken, smitten (To afflict retributively; chasten or chastise.)
by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for
our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement (punishment) that made us whole, and with His stripes (A blow, as with a whip.) we are Healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him', the iniquity (Gross immorality or injustice;
wickedness.) of us all." "He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not
His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers (Those who remove (fleece or hair) by cutting or clipping.) is dumb, so He opened not His
mouth.”
"And they made His grave with the wicked and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in His mouth. Yet it was the will of The Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief; when He makes
Himself an offering for sin, He shall see His offspring, He shall prolong His days; the will of The Lord shall prosper in
His hand; He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul and be satisfied; by His knowledge shall the righteous one, my
servant, make many to be accounted righteous; and He shall bear their iniquities."
"Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He poured out His soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
Isaiah 53:2-12
It was God’s will to have
Him crushed with pain; if He gives His life as a sin offering, He will see His offspring and prolong His life,
and through Him, God’s will be done. After the ordeal He has endured, He
will see the light and be content. By His knowledge, the Upright One, My
Servant, will justify many by taking their guilt on Himself. Hence
I shall give Him a portion with the many, and He will share the booty with the mighty, for having exposed Himself to death,
and for being counted as one of the rebellious, but in fact, He was bearing the sins of many and interceding for
the rebellious.
Isaiah 53:10-12
