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:

His death-pangs were our birth-pangs; and Christ shall see that which is born of his soul-anguish, and "shall be satisfied."

Isaiah 53:11. By his knowledge -

Or, "by the knowledge of him," -

Isaiah 53:11. Shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

There is no meaning at all in this chapter if it does not teach that Christ did take upon himself the sin of his people, and did suffer in their room and place and stead. Let who will object to this doctrine, it is the gospel, the very heart and marrow of it; and there is nothing that can make a heavy heart glad until it sees sin removed by the death of Christ: "He shall bear their iniquities."
