Do not take anything to Christ. When you live with the living Christ, you will live indeed. 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. Added to the exaltation prophesied in the first stanza, the eternity of The Lord Jesus Christ is clearly visible. Take him to the fire and burn the filth! The Spirit of God works the new birth in his own way, but he works according to the gospel. The deuterocanonical books (from the Greek meaning "belonging to the second canon") are books and passages considered by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Assyrian Church of the East to be canonical books of the Old Testament, but which Protestant denominations regard as apocrypha.They date from 300 BC to 100 AD, mostly from 200 BC to 70 . Now, such an atonement I despise I reject it. It has prospered hitherto, and shall prosper, whatever obstructions or difficulties have been, or may be, in the way of it. God forsook His Son when your sin was placed upon Him. "The Son with joy looks down, and sees The purchase of his agonies.". Isaiah's use of fire as a figure of punishment (see 1:31; 10:17; 26:11; 33:11-14; 34:9-10; 66:24), his references to the "holy mountain" of Jerusalem (see note on 2:2-4) and his mention of the highway to Jerusalem (see note on 11:16) are themes that recur throughout the book. We are made his seed through his death. Christ will see generation after generation of those redeemed by his blood who shall be born into his family, and shall call him blessed. I read in one of the apocrypha books, one of the early writings, a description of Paul the apostle. Man was condemned to live forever in hell. So Christ became the sin offering for us. He is overwhelmed with grief. Christ comes at his glory by conquest. He has laid upon him heavy sufferings. Sinner, God will never destroy you merely to maintain his government, or for the good of others. What that something is they do not tell us. " The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. 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. "The faithful God of the Bible would certainly not visit bad things on innocent people, would he? Surely he's a spiritual giant. And that is why Jesus came that He might take the guilt of my sin. No man taketh this office upon himself. (3.) Beloved, we shall have many with us, whilst this morning we turn our face to the Mount of Calvary. Christ having died for us, we came into another relation to justice, and it became possible for us to be regenerated, and brought into the household of God. It means that it was by the agency, and in accordance with the design of Yahweh, that he was subjected to these great sorrows. And if it doesn't refer to Jesus Christ, it can't refer to any other person in history. The punishment Christ went through on the cross was placed on him by us rather than God, and if we "give an offering for sin," that is faith in Jesus and true repentance (metanoia), our souls shall receive eternal life, or a prolonged seed, as well. The greater good in this case was that the Servant would be the perfect and final guilt (trespass) offering for sin thus taking away the sins of the world (John 1:29). He has determined that you shall not do what you have vowed. 4. Obey the precept, and the promise is yours. This is none other than God's only-begotten Son; this is he who made the worlds; this is the express image of his Father's person, the brightness of Jehovah's glory! The text puts away every hard thought concerning the Father, by telling us that it pleased Jehovah to bruise Jesus Christ. But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. Now, the second matter that I wish to bring under your notice is this, THAT THE PROVISION AND ACCEPTANCE OF A SUBSTITUTE FOR SINNERS IS AN ACT OF GRACE. If Jesus is not the Messiah, there is no Messiah. If I should pay a thousand pounds for a man's deliverance from bondage to him that retains him, who hath power to set him free, and is contented with the price I give, were it not injurious to me and the poor prisoner that his deliverance be not accomplished? Because the Messiah had voluntarily submitted himself to those sorrows which were necessary to show the evil of sin; and in view of the great object to be gained, the eternal redemption of his people, he was pleased that he would subject himself to so great sorrows to save them. So sad is his heart, that he faints in the streets. He didn't know what he had on his hands and he did his best to free Him. "As many as looked upon you was shocked when they saw how marred your face was. Such language is never applied to martyrs in the Bible; such language is never applied to them in the common discourses of people. 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. 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 death of Christ is traceable to God the Father. It is very delightful, at Christmas time, or perhaps at some other time in the year, for all the family to meet; and though your name may be "Smith" or "Brown," yet you feel there is some importance in your name, when all your clan have met together. The reply was: "Indeed, you are right. Isa 53:1. . Come, and see how he loved us, see what he did for us. Oh, but that was grand! The same mischievous experiment is being tried now, and there will be the same result; for the living Christ is still to the front. I wish to-night that I had power to deal with this doctrine as I would. 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. The Lord having established the principle of substitution, having provided a substitute, and having through him bestowed upon us gratuitously innumerable mercies, let us observe THAT JESUS IS THE MOST FITTING PERSON TO BE A SUBSTITUTE, AND THAT HIS WORK IS THE MOST FITTING WORK TO BE A SATISFACTION. He has done so in the Saviour; and what God provides, God must and will accept. Isaiah 53 /. And I so love the writings of Paul that I've been drawn to him. III. The context begins in Isaiah 52:13 and continues through Isaiah 53:12: (3.) See how this dwelt upon; for, whenever we think of the sufferings of Christ, we must see him in them bearing our sin. "We love him because he first loved us." According to the margin, Yahweh himself speaks, and the idea is, that his soul should make an offering for sin. 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 ). Instead of the fathers shall be the children, whom he will make princes in all the earth. Look upon the whole transaction of a substitute, and of Christ becoming the second Adam, as being a matter of pure, rich, free, sovereign grace, and never indulge the atrocious thought, I pray you, that there was justice, and justice only here; but do magnify the love and pity of God in that he did devise and accomplish the great plan of salvation by an atoning sacrifice. Thus they have rejected him in his essential character, and there has been no effect produced upon their conduct by their cold admiration of his life. "He was numbered with the transgressors and made intercession for the transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12). And the will of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. And the pleasure of the Lord To have all men saved and brought to the knowledge of the truth. Adam Clarke Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 53:5. One hundred years ago or so, throughout the most of our Dissenting churches, a sort of Unitarianism was triumphant. Come as you are just as you are. Our Lord's true people are like him, or they could not be styled "his seed." But if you don't see that big tackle barreling in on you, and he hits you without your having any ability to defend yourself by the feigning that a person does, that's when you get the broken bones. There was not so much as an atom of chance work in the Saviour's death. Isaiah 55. Delivered on Sabbath Morning, January 24, 1858, by the, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------. But few people realize the full significance of Isaiah 53 in relation to the identity of the Messiah. There are multitudes of religious people, very religious people; but they are as dead as door-nails. Will you be there to answer to your name? But surely in that suffering, in that death. He will not come short of his end in any part of his work, but will himself see that he has not laboured in vain. That hour of mid-day darkness was the rising of a new sun of righteousness, which shall never cease to shine upon the earth. 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. Yet all this must be made true, and innumerable other absurdities, if universal redemption be asserted. Most absolutely he must be one who had no debt of his own. The Exaltation of the Messiah; The Triumph of the Messiah. It is the good pleasure of the Lord, which denotes not only his counsel concerning it, but his complacency in it; and therefore God loved him, and was well pleased in him, because he undertook to lay down his life for the sheep. 4 Truly he himself carried our sicknesses, +. What can be the good of it?" He shall justify not here and there one that is eminent and remarkable, but those of the many, the despised multitude. (2.) [*a] 8:2 Then find me reliable witnesses, Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.' 8:3 I went to the prophetess, she conceived and gave birth to a son. Oh, I like this, "He shall see his seed"! He shall see his seed." 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. for the transgression of my people was he stricken. If thou art damned it is not for want of invitation. 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. 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. 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. The first volume contains an important intro-33-Isa-NETS-4.qxd 11/10/2009 10:40 PM Page 824 What better testimony can we bear to the love and faithfulness of God than the testimony of a substitution eminently satisfactory for all them that believe on Christ? Christ did not make himself a sin-offering without a warrant from the Most High: God made him so. Tomorrow is my wedding-day, the day for which I have long panted, when I shall sign the testimony of my life by a glorious deaths." (5.) We cost him so much, that he must delight in us. Just as people were startled at the sight of the servants great sufferings, so will they be startled at the sight of his great glory. I would have you notice this morning, first of all, the cause of Christ's death "It pleased the Lord to bruise him."
