Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

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.

We sometimes sing, — “I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God;...

Isaiah 53:6

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

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.

Brethren, we have no occasion to find fault with one another,...

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 our substitute, standing in our stead: a wondrous truth...

Isaiah 53:6

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

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. There is your only hope of eternal life, sinner.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not mouth: When a word could have released him, he would not speak it. His was indeed golden silence.
