Isaiah 53:10

Isaiah 53:10. 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.

Wicked men slew our Lord, and their crime was the blackest in the world’s history; but, unconsciously, they were carrying out " the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God." "It pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief." Christ died for others, but he lives again; and through him a godly seed shall live for ever and ever: "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." He is made to prosper because he died.
