Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 53:9

THE BURIAL OF JESUSIsaiah 53:9. And He made His grave with the wicked, &c.The death and resurrection of Christ are frequently dwelt upon by preachers and writers; but His burial is seldom distinctly alluded to. Yet it is spoken of in Scripture as a most important fact (Acts 13:29; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Ephesians 4:9-10).I. THE HONOURABLE BURIAL GRANTED TO JESUS WHO HAD BEEN SO IGNOMINIOUSLY PUT TO DEATH.1.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 53:10-11

THE ATONEMENTIsaiah 53:10. When Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, &c.I. THE SOUL OF THE MESSIAH WAS TO BE MADE AN OFFERING FOR SIN.The word here used (אשמ, asham) signifies either guilty,—or, by a figure, an offering for guilt. We may consider it in both senses. He was not in Himself guilty, but innocent and perfectly so (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 7:26). But our sins were imputed to Him, or “laid upon Him;” that is, they were laid to His charge, and He was made accountable for... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:7

Isaiah 53:7 St. Peter makes it almost a description of the Christian, that he loves Him whom he has not seen; speaking of Christ, he says, "Whom having not seen, ye love." Unless we have a true love of Christ, we are not His true disciples; and we cannot love Him unless we have heartfelt gratitude to Him; and we cannot duly feel gratitude unless we feel keenly what He suffered for us. No one who will but solemnly think over the history of those sufferings, as drawn out for us in the Gospels,... read more

DISCOURSE: 970CHRIST’S BEHAVIOUR UNDER HIS SUFFERINGSIsaiah 53:7. 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.THE preaching of Christ crucified has in every age been the great means of converting men to God: nor is there any passage of Scripture, which may not, by a judicious exposition of it, be improved either for leading us to Christ, or for instructing... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 53:8

DISCOURSE: 971OUR LORD’S TRIAL AND EXECUTIONIsaiah 53:8. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.IT has been generally thought, especially among heathen writers, that if virtue could be set before the eyes of men, and exhibited by some pattern of perfect excellence, it would conciliate the esteem of all, and be held in universal admiration. But Socrates... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 53:9-10

DISCOURSE: 972THE FATHER’S CONDUCT TOWARDS THE INNOCENT JESUS EXPLAINED AND VINDICATEDIsaiah 53:9-10. He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief.THE accomplishment of the prophecies is one of the strongest arguments for the truth of Christianity. The predictions which relate to the great Founder of our religion are so numerous and so... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 53:10

DISCOURSE: 973CHRIST’S DEATH A CONDITION OF OUR SALVATIONIsaiah 53:10. When thou shall 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.THERE are in the Holy Scriptures many apparent contradictions, which, when properly understood, are perfectly consistent with each other. The redemption of our souls is continually represented as the freest gift of God: yet the very term redemption implies that a price is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

By Chuck SmithWhen men made chapter and verse divisions, they did make mistakes. The Word of God is divinely inspired; it's inerrant. But men, for the sake of helping us to find scriptures and to memorize passages, divided the Bible into chapter and verses. And it's a very convenient way to reference. However, many times they made the divisions in the wrong place, and in our reading we are prone to read to an end of a chapter and then quit until the next reading. And sometimes the thought... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 53:1-12

Isaiah 53:1 . Who hath believed our report; and to whom is (the Messiah) the mighty arm of the Lord revealed? This complaint of the servants is but the plaintive echo of their Master’s voice. He had said in the Spirit, “I have laboured in vain, and spent my strength for nought; yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work is with my God.” But he spake not in despair; his righteousness sustained him. “Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord,... read more
