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
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows,.... Or "nevertheless", as Gussetius (k); notwithstanding the above usage of him; though it is a certain and undoubted truth, that Christ not only assumed a true human nature, capable of sorrow and grief, but he took all the natural sinless infirmities of it; or his human nature was subject to such, as hunger, thirst, weariness, c. and to...
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
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. What a joyous note there is in that sorrowful line, “With his stripes we are healed”! Glory be to God, we are healed of...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: What a discovery this truth seems to be! How it bursts upon the prophet and his hearers and amazes them! “Surely,” they say, “can it be really so that ‘ he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows’?” Yes, it is indeed so; there is no accounting for the sufferings of the perfect Christ except by this explanation, that he was bearing...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. If this does not teach the doctrine of a vicarious atonement, what does it teach? If Christ’s sufferings were not endured in our room, and place, and stead, what do these words...
Charles H. Spurgeon
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,” — Isa_53:4. And carried our...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chatisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. It is substitution, you see, all through, — Christ suffering instead of us, —the Innocent dying for the guilty, — the...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for out transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. He had not a pang to suffer on his own account, nothing to cause him grief in anything he had done: — “For sins not his...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows :-- Listen, ye sad ones, ye sorrowful ones! Let this sweet note charm you into joy: “He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.” Isa_53:4. Yet we — We, for whom he was the Substitute, for whom he smarted: “Yet we” —
Charles H. Spurgeon
Did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Wonderful medicine! Marvelous healing! Where shall we find the like? The Physician drinks the bitter draught, and so cures the patient; whoever heard of such a wonder as this? The...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him, he was...
Charles H. Spurgeon
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was...
