INTRODUCTION TO Isaiah 53 This chapter treats of the mean appearance of Christ in human nature, his sufferings in it, and the glory that should follow. It begins with a complaint of the small number of those that believed the report concerning him, the power of God not being exerted, Isaiah 53:1, the reason of this general disbelief was the meanness of his outward circumstances, and the want of...
John Gill
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied,.... "The travail of his soul" is the toil and labour he endured, in working out the salvation of his people; his obedience and death, his sorrows and sufferings; particularly those birth throes of his soul, under a sense of divine wrath, for the allusion is to women in travail; and all the agonies and pains of death which he went...
Matthew Henry
The two great things which the Spirit of Christ in the Old-Testament prophets testified beforehand were the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow, 1 Pet. i. 11. And that which Christ himself, when he expounded Moses and all the prophets, showed to be the drift and scope of them all was that Christ ought to suffer and then to enter into his glory, Luke xxiv. 26, 27. But nowhere in...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: His death-pangs were birth-pangs: “the travail of his soul.” He sees the multitude that shall be born through his death, and he is content. Isa_53:11. By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; Dear hearer, will he justify you? Do you know him? If you know him so as to trust him, he has justified you; you are a...
Charles H. Spurgeon
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. Isa_53:11. By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; By their...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: Christ did not die at haphazard, as some seem to think. A sure and glorious result must come of “the travail of his soul.” Such precious blood as his could not fall to the ground at a peradventure. Whatever the design of his gross was, it shall be accomplished. I could imagine failures in creation, if so it pleased God; but never in...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And the pleasure of the LORD shall proper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: Christ did not die in vain. He will never miss the great object of his death, you may depend upon that. Those drops of blood are far too precious to fall in vain upon the earth.
Charles H. Spurgeon
By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; That is, by their knowledge of him, by their trusting him, many shall be justified, and saved. Isa_53:11. For he shall bear their iniquities. How very express this is, — that Christ does not merely bear the punishment of his people, but their iniquities, too! There is a literal substitution of Christ in the place of his people, and a most...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. That is the way he justifies them — takes their iniquities upon himself; and since a thing cannot be in two places at one time, when Christ takes our iniquities, they are gone, and we are just in the sight of God. He takes the burden, and...
Charles H. Spurgeon
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.” Isa_53:11. By his knowledge — Or, “by the knowledge of him,” — Isa_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...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. What gracious gospel words these are, even though they...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, And he shall divide the spoil with the strong: because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief; when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I...
