Title: Is He Stabbed? /Isa 53:1-12
Isaiah 53 is called the song of the suffering servant.
This song of the suffering servant tells us three things: 1. It is the fact that the Messiah suffered.
There is no verse in the Old Testament that describes Jesus' suffering as well as this verse. This text, which has twelve verses, is originally written in poetic language.
There are many words related to suffering in the text. Torment, suffering, suffering, humiliation, toil, despised, disliked, sorrow, chastised, stabbed, bruised, whipped, taken to the slaughterhouse, interrogated, trespass offering, grave, burial chamber... It is followed by words such as ..
This description is exactly like the suffering Lord in the Gospels.
Betrayed by the disciples you love, you suffer so much that even when you come to the point of death, you are not comforted by the disciples, just like soldiers sent from the disciples, scribes, and elders, and robbers with swords and clubs. Arrested, tried in the court of the high priest in Caiaphas, being judged before Pilate, but he was silent, Hosanna, Son of David, when the crowds who cried out, “Crucify him,” were heard, and were mocked by the Roman soldiers. He went up to Golgotha Hill with his cross, nailed to his hands and feet on a crucifix, and crucified with robbers on either side.
Passersby shook their heads and insulted Jesus, some spit on him, the priests and scribes mocked, and they forced the reeds to drink sour wine.
After suffering for six hours on the cross, the Roman soldiers who confirmed death pierced their side with spears, causing all the water and blood to bleed, and the burial of the dead body in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, all in the song of the servant in Isaiah 53. It was as it was. 2. The fact that the suffering of the Messiah has a direct relationship with us.
1) In verse 2, it says, “There was nothing beautiful in our eyes that we should adore.”
It is said that we saw him with contemptuous eyes.
Verse 3 says, “Neither did we honor him.” We despised and hated him, and we did not value him. We are also the ones who inflicted suffering on the Messiah. That's right. I was Judas Iscariot, who sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. I was Peter, who cursed and swore to Jesus three times and denied it. I was Caiaphas, the priest who accused the innocent Jesus of blasphemy for blasphemy. I was one of the crowds that were clamoring for the crucifixion, I was the one who gave the death sentence to be crucified, I was the Roman soldier who crucified me, and I was the one who spit on Jesus and blasphemed me. will be
2) The fact that the Messiah suffered suffering is because of us. He truly bore our sufferings. He suffered the sorrows we deserve. It was for our transgressions that he was pierced. He was bruised because of our iniquities. He was disciplined to give us peace. He was whipped to heal us.
It is for us that he remains silent to the end and makes no excuses. He Himself became a trespass offering for us. It became an atoning sacrifice for those who sinned. He bore the sins of many. He prayed for the criminals.
“Forgive them their sins, for they do not know what they are doing,” he prayed on the cross. The suffering of Christ was because of us, and it was because of me.
Let us partake of the Lord's Supper today, confessing this very fact.
Jesus Christ was despised, suffered and died. This suffering of Jesus Christ was the suffering for us.
Hymn 403:1 "O the loving grace of the Lord Jesus, who suffered and died on the cross for my sake, how can we not praise those who have been redeemed from sin for ever and ever through the shedding of His precious blood?
