It is a common saying with the opponents of the old faith, that Mr. Spurgeon is a "pessimist," and takes gloomy views of things. "He shall prolong his days " (Isaiah 53:10). As a man hands down to his posterity his possessions, Christ Jesus has made over to his people all that he is, and all that he has, and all that he ever will be, that they may be with him, and behold his glory, and shine with him as the stars for ever and ever. I want us to go back to the Old Testament and reflect on the prophecy of Isaiah 53, which tells the story of Jesus' atonement for our sins long before it happened. Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV LXX Isaiah{gr.Esaias} 10 > > KJV 1 The woe of tyrants. The blood has filled the fountain full: thou hast but to wash and be clean, and thy sins shall be gone forever. Your mistake, Sir, is in your failure to see that Jesus Christ was in no sense whatever only one man. That water springing up into everlasting life he gave us. It says, "He shall see his seed." It is promised. 6 All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord gave him up for our sins. Jerome renders it, If he shall lay down his life for sin. The Septuagint renders it in the plural, If you shall give (an offering) for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived posterity. Lowth renders it, If his soul shall make a propitiatory sacrifice. Rosenmuller renders it, If his soul, that is, he himself, shall place his soul as an expiation for sin. Noyes renders it, But since he gave himself a sacrifice for sin. It seems to me that the margin is the correct rendering, and that it is to be regarded as in the third person. And now I am to wind up with this third thought: THIS POSTERITY IS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMMEDIATE EYE OF CHRIST. If you can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed: 11 the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to show him light, and to form him with . 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. Alas, the old nature blots and blurs the resemblance! The time is come; the men with the halberts precede him through the streets. Just as many were astonished at you, So His visagewas marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men; So shall He sprinkle many nations. It was a great commendation of his sufferings, and redounded very much to his honour, that in his sufferings he made intercession for the transgressors, for those that reviled and crucified him; for he prayed, Father, forgive them, thereby showing, not only that he forgave them, but that he was now doing that upon which their forgiveness, and the forgiveness of all other transgressors, were to be founded. Our second head must explain the first, or otherwise it is an insolvable mystery how God should bruise his Son, who was perfect innocence, while poor fallible confessors and martyrs have had no such bruising from him in the time of their trial. It is fulfilled in the reign of the Redeemer on earth and in his eternal existence and glory in heaven. And yet, it is interesting how so often today we only associate love with physical attraction, and not with the person themselves. He sees you. 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. Verse Isaiah 53:10. And that's why so many marriages are miserable, because the person has married the face but there's nothing behind the face. Such is Jesus Christ. He rose again the third day. Isaiah 53:10 Surely this can only mean that God beat Jesus up?! And now where is the artist that can depict the anguish of the fathers countenance, when the knife is unsheathed, and he holds it up, ready to slay his son? +. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." he sees your first desires, your humble breathings, your lowly hopes, your trembling approaches. Being separated from God. And here it is. The sufferer becomes the conqueror and receives a conquerors reward. In accordance with this, Paul says 2 Corinthians 5:21, that God made him to be sin for us ( hamartian), that is, a sin-offering; and he is called hilasmos and hilasterion, a propitiatory sacrifice for sins Romans 3:25; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:10. 3. I will here quote the testimony of that pre-eminently profound divine, Dr. John Owen: "Redemption is the freeing of a man from misery by the intervention of a ransom. Do not think that I am too familiar. As he was the root of the Jewish church, and the covenant was made with him and his seed, so is Christ of the universal church and with him and his spiritual seed is the covenant of grace made, which is grounded upon and grafted in the covenant of redemption, which here we have some of the glorious promises of. On this account Paul also calls him a curse or execration: Christ hath redeemed us from the execration of the law, having been made an execration for us. (Galatians 3:13) He likewise calls him Sin; For him who knew no sin hath he made to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21) And in another passage, For what was impossible for the law, inasmuch as it was weak on account of the flesh, God did, by sending his own Son in the likeness of flesh liable to sin, and for sin condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us. (Romans 8:3) What Paul meant by the words curse and sin in these passages is the same as what the Prophet meant by the word , (asham.) 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 no merit of thine needed; there is merit enough in Christ. Oh! It would not be worth angels singing "Glory to God in the highest" about it, I should think. Not here and there, but everywhere, they were hunted down and persecuted. "For God laid on Him the iniquities of us all.". 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. Answer (1 of 4): Perhaps the greatest of all Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Scriptures / the Old Testament) concerning the advent of the Jewish Messiah is found in the 53rd chapter of the prophet Isaiah. You, dear hearer, dressed in the garments of family religion, and adorned with the jewels of moral virtue, may be nothing beyond "a child of nature finely dressed, but not the living child." Why, sir, it seems a marvel to me that I am out of hell, and Wesley's hymn is often on my lips, 'Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell. Thus he shall bear the iniquities of the many that he designed to justify (Isaiah 53:11; Isaiah 53:11), shall take away the sin of the world by taking it upon himself, John 1:29. He whom God the Father hath accepted as a sin offering hath perfected forever thou who are set apart. 1. 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. Ar. He didn't know what he had on his hands and he did his best to free Him. He's with the rich in His death. Unless he had so done the agonies of Christ could not have been an equivalent for our sufferings; for hell consists in the hiding of God's face from sinners, and if God had not hidden his face from Christ, Christ could not I see not how he could have endured any suffering that could have been accepted as an equivalent for the woes and agonies of his people. The eye of Christ is never off from the eye of faith. There are some of God's elect here, and he will have you. 20 A remnant of Israel shall be saved. What God designed for the Redeemer he shall certainly gain the possession of: "I will divide it to him," and immediately it follows, He shall divide it, notwithstanding the opposition that is given to him; for, as Christ finished the work that was given him to do, so God completed the recompence that was promised him for it; for he is both able and faithful. Given the explicit mention of death in Isaiah 53:9 and the fact that his life is a sacrificial offering in Isaiah 53:10, we are not speaking here of a metaphorical . 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. And fellowship with God who is holy and righteous cannot be restored until something is done about my sin. That is, with His face covered they began to hit Him. "Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand." That seems to me to be clear from the indefiniteness of the text. When I say this, I am not to be understood as using any figure whatever, but as saying actually what I mean. As to our own country, read the story of persecutions here. "The faithful God of the Bible would certainly not visit bad things on innocent people, would he? That is, really an attractive, desirable or attracting feature. He must use his own discretion as to whether he will accept the substitute or not; and if he do so, it is an act of grace. "We love him because he first loved us." But if you expect your prophecy to be believed, enlarge the number of your jails, and seek for fresh fields for transportation in the interests of society; for if any doctrine can breed villains, this will. If Jesus is not the Messiah, there is no Messiah. Other men can get disciples for themselves by the means that are usual for such ends; but all the disciples of Christ are produced by miracle. May he now be found of them who sought not for him, and he shall have the glory, world without end. And after all, though men call this a limited atonement, it is as effectual as their own fallacious and rotten redemptions can pretend to be. Paul said, "For a righteous man some might dare to die: for a good man peradventure some would even give their lives. So Christ became the sin offering for us. Verse 18 expresses God's infinite patience and grace. It was so horrible. Content: Part Seven. Most miserable night. Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV LXX You have, shall I say?
