Isaiah 53:4

Isaiah 53:4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:

What a discovery this truth seems to be! How it bursts upon the prophet and his hearers and amazes them! "Surely," they say, "can it be really so that ‘ he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows’?" Yes, it is indeed so; there is no accounting for the sufferings of the perfect Christ except by this explanation, that he was bearing our griefs, and carrying the sorrows that we ought to have carried for our own sin.
