Isaiah 53:11

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 53:11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:

This is a clear proof that he shall live, and he shall triumph. All his griefs shall come to an end; and even the death-pangs of his soul shall be the travail by which multitudes shall be born unto him, so that his infinite heart shall be satisfied.

Isaiah 53:11. By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;

By their knowledge of him, by their so knowing him as to trust him, they shall find justification; and "many" shall find it.

Isaiah 53:11. For he shall bear their iniquities.

We are told that the doctrine of substitution is a theory by which we explain the fact of Christ’s death, but that it is only a theory. It is not so, for it is of the very essence of the fact. It is by no means our explanation, it is God’s own declaration: "He shall bear their iniquities."
