Isaiah 53:6

Isaiah 53:6. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;

All sinning, but each one sinning in his own particular fashion. It is well to acknowledge the common guilt of all men, but it is the token of true repentance that it dwells mainly on its own special offense. Brethren, we have no occasion to find fault with one another, for "all we like sheep have gone astray." But we have great reason for each man to find special fault with himself, for "we have turned every one to his own way."

Isaiah 53:6. And the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

What a mercy it is that every sort of sin - the sin of the mass, and the sin of the particular sinner, - has been laid by Jehovah himself upon his Only-begotten Son! "Jehovah hath made to meet on him the iniquity of us all." Mark you, not merely "the chastisement" of which the previous verse spoke, but "the iniquity" itself; and albeit there are some who say that this cannot be, and that iniquity cannot be shifted from one person to another, it has been done, and there is an end of it.
