Isaiah 53:4

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 53:4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, -

Can all of you say this? Can every one of us unite in the reading of this sentence, "Surely, he hath borne our griefs"? If you have truly learned that he bore your griefs, you may indeed bless his name, for it is the best news that ever reached your ears. Go and tell it to your fellow sufferers: "Surely he hath borne our griefs," -

Isaiah 53:4. And carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

They thought that God had smitten him, and so he had; but they wrongly supposed that there was something of sin in him that caused God to smite him, whereas he was "holy, harmless, undefiled;" and he was only stricken and smitten because he was bearing the sins of his people.
