Isaiah 53:6-7

Isaiah 53:6-7. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

These words have been the means of the conversion of multitudes. You recollect, in the Acts of the Apostles, what that rich Ethiopian said to Philip when he read these words: "I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?" If we read this chapter over and over again, and so read it as to find Christ there, it will indeed be a blessed thing for us.
