He did, as it were, put the sin from off his own shoulders on to those of the lamb, or the bullock, or the he-goat which was now about to be slaughtered. Truly it has satisfied God: is there not enough there to satisfy thee? Likewise the setting up of the kingdom and interest of Christ in the world, and the continuance and increase of it; the ministry of the word, and the success of that as the means thereof, may be also meant; for the Gospel will be preached, and a Gospel church still continued, until all the elect of God are gathered in. It would not be worth angels singing "Glory to God in the highest" about it, I should think. There is no effect of Christ's death that is left to peradventure. Note, (1.) In trying now to expound the doctrine of Christ's being an offering for sin, we will begin by laying down one great axiom; which is, that SIN DESERVES AND DEMANDS PUNISHMENT. 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 ). I do implore thee, sinner, come to Jesus! I could not make the sermon shorter, so as to bring it into a single number, or I should have had to leave out some important point; and I think the shorter sermon is a very fitting accompaniment of it. The gallant vessel of the church ploughed the red waves of a crimson sea, her prow scarlet with gore, but the ship itself was the better for its washing, and sailed all the more gallantly because of boisterous winds. As one that is employed for God to pursue his designs and secure and advance the interests of his glory. But He was forsaken of God in order that you won't have to be forsaken by God. If ye can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed: 11the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to shew him light, and to form him with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and he shall bear their sins. "It pleased Jehovah to bruise him," saith the original; "he hath put him to grief." Thus have I talked with you in a very poor and feeble way, as far as my speech is concerned: but the doctrine is not feeble, the gospel is not poor. There is a martyr in prison: the chains are on his wrists, and yet he sings. 3 He was despised and was avoided by men, +. "Shalls" and "wills" made the covenant fast: Christ's bloody death shall effect its solemn purpose. Impossible! and consider the unexampled love which shines in Christ's gift of himself. 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." When you live with the living Christ, you will live indeed. The Servant would also accomplish Yahwehs good purpose for His life (cf. The Septuagint translation by Brenton in Bible Hub reads as follows: "And I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; for he practiced no iniquity, nor craft with his mouth.". Should I conceal those parts of divine truth which are obnoxious to the carnal mind, I should be unfaithful to God, untrue to my galling, and guilty of the blood of souls. There are many whom Christ justifies, not all (multitudes perish in their sins), yet many, even as many as he gave his life a ransom for, as many as the Lord our God shall call. Oh, but the joy we shall have in being there the delight in beholding his face; yet, if all our joys are put together, they will not equal the joy that he will have when he finds them all there for whom he shed his blood all whom the Father gave him all who gave themselves to him all who were born as his seed not one lost! It is promised. The Septuagint was translated in the third and second centuries BC in Alexandria, Egypt. And it so often is very shocking when you see the person that you've been listening to. (3.) Now, beloved, there be many who think that God the Father is at best but an indifferent spectator of salvation. He saw they were necessary, and he was willing that he should be subjected to them. The great privilege that flows to us from the death of Christ is justification from sin, our being acquitted from that guilt which alone can ruin us, and accepted into God's favour, which alone can make us happy. God's purposes shall take effect, and not one iota or tittle of them shall fail. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? 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. But beyond the sorrow of death is the joy of the resurrection. It is for them that he bears Gods punishment (4-6).The servant is treated cruelly, but he bears it silently. That seems to me to be clear from the indefiniteness of the text. We know that he died. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. The natural relation between father and son is often transferred to spiritual subjects. You would not like to tell her all you have thought of her: you have looked at her with intense delight. But when he talks about the crucifixion, he speaks about the predetermined counsel and the foreknowledge of God. You see, without any children, who's going to declare His generation? It is in his hands who upholds all things. I pray that it may be so. Wilt thou now trust Christ with thy soul? It is fulfilled in the reign of the Redeemer on earth and in his eternal existence and glory in heaven. That hour of mid-day darkness was the rising of a new sun of righteousness, which shall never cease to shine upon the earth. [Note: Motyer, p. All that you can do will bring you no further: you must be born again; and this is the work of the Spirit of God. We are out of the spiritual world altogether that world of which he is the Head, the Creator, the Lord. Did he suffer it all? The Jews, however, had by far the clearer idea of it. In both the Septuagint and Abinadi's discourse, a singular word is changed to a plural word three times, each when translating a word describing iniquity or sin. Do not imagine that we preach a gospel in this place for respectable, godly people. i. 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. In short, Isaiah teaches that sins cannot be pardoned in any other way than by betaking ourselves to the death of Christ. Beloved, it is not only true that God did design and did permit with willingness the death of Christ; it is moreover, true that the unutterable agonies that clothed the death of the Saviour with superhuman terror, were the effect of the Father's bruising of Christ in very act and deed. I heard, the other day, from one who told me that he believed we were saved by being perfect, that when we committed sin we at once fell out of God's mercy. Our sins were thrown upon Christ in such a manner that he alone bore the curse. Christ was an offering for sin, in the sense of a substitute. A true husband and a true spouse are always lovers: they are always linked together by strong ties of affection; and it is so with that model husband, the Lord Christ, and his perfect church above. The first drops of that living spring, the whole outcome of the spring, and the spring itself, came from him. The other idea, that sin is only to be punished for the sake of the community, involves injustice. 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 . 3. Best Top New Controversial Q&A . The soldier had made assurance doubly sure by piercing his side. He suffered so much for our redemption, that he must love us. Is it not the old proverb that you are not to take coals to Newcastle? When men made chapter and verse divisions, they did make mistakes. And John said, "And I turned and I saw Him as a lamb that hath been slaughtered" ( Revelation 5:2-6 ). He loved not his life unto the death, and his followers, the martyrs, did likewise, Revelation 12:11. Because he stood in our room, and in no other way than by his death could the justice of God be satisfied. Was God "Pleased to Punish" Christ? On the way, that patriarch speaks not one solitary word to his son. In this he acteth justly, for the crime and sin of the Saviour's death must lay at the door of manhood. And so the next time Jesus showed Himself to the disciples, Thomas being present, He said, "Okay, Thomas, go ahead. because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors ( Isaiah 53:12 ); Two thieves on either, one on either side. That is, really an attractive, desirable or attracting feature. 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. Evidently the death of Christ was fruitful of a seed for him. for his life is taken away from the earth: because of the iniquities of my people he was led to death. 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. Let us add, however, to this, that, although Jesus Christ's dying as a substitute does give to him lawful right to all promised privileges, and does make him, as the covenant head of his people a claimant of the divine mercy, yet it does not render any of the gifts which we receive from God the less gifts from God. Blessed be the dying Christ! (1.) But there is a caveat. Come, and see how he loved us, see what he did for us. He loves his people no less, and he could not love them any more, than when he died for them, and so for ever "he shall see his seed." The Lord enable you to believe in Jesus now, to take him now as a complete and finished salvation for you, though you may be the most sunken and abandoned and hopeless of all characters.
