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
All we like sheep have gone astray,.... Here the prophet represents all the elect of God, whether Jews or Gentiles; whom he compares to "sheep", not for their good qualities, but for their foolishness and stupidity; and particularly for their being subject to go astray from the shepherd, and the fold, and from their good pastures, and who never return of themselves, until they are looked up, and...
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...

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. The general sin of the race, the special sin of the individual, all gathered, heap upon heap, mountain upon mountain, and laid by God on Christ. We sometimes sing, — “I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all and frees us From the accursed...
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. It is well to acknowledge the common guilt of all men, but it is the token of true repentance that it dwells mainly on its own special offense. Brethren, we have no occasion to find fault with one another, for “all we like sheep have gone astray.” But we...
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. 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...
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 a universal sin: “All we like sheep have gone astray.” There is also a personal sin, a sin peculiar to each individual: “We have turned every one to his own way.” But Christ gathers up the sin, all kinds of sin of all sorts of men, and of his whole Church it...
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. Taken the full load of sin, the whole mass of human guilt, and placed it upon him. He was perfectly innocent, and yet was the sin of man heaped upon him. He was our substitute, standing in our stead: a wondrous truth was this!
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. You are among the “all” who went astray; if you are a believer in Christ, you will be found among the “all” whose iniquities were laid upon him, and carried away by him.
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...
