イザヤ書 53:1-10 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:3

The rejected Saviour. "He is desvised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." He! Who? The incarnate Lord, who has grown up in childhood as a " tender plant;" who is the one "living root," while all others are the dry soil of a decrepit and degenerate humanity. I. THIS REVEALS TO US WHAT THE HEBREW CHURCH WAS . Christ was the " to u ch stone" of that Church. Its conduct to him made manifest to what a condition they had come. Think of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:3

The Man of sorrows. We feel that there is but One of our race to whom this title properly belongs; One who may wear it as a crown upon his brow, inasmuch as his sorrows do him higher honour than the most conspicuous success ever conferred on human spirit. It does belong to him, not in virtue of the fact that his outward career involved more cruel hardships than those ever borne before; but in virtue of the fact that his spirit was such as to make his endurance more grievous than that ever... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:3

Man's disposition to reject his best blessings. Philip the evangelist, from this, and the connected passage, preached unto the eunuch Jesus. This is sufficient reason for our associating it with Messiah. The chapter concerns the human life, the sorrowful experience, the shameful death, and the eternal triumph of the Son of God. The story of the Christ can be gathered up and expressed in a sentence," He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:4

Surely he hath borne our griefs ; or, surely they were our griefs which he bore. The pronouns are emphatic. Having set forth at length the fact of the Servant's humiliation ( Isaiah 53:2 , Isaiah 53:3 ), the prophet hastens to declare the reason of it. Twelve times over within the space of nine verses he asserts. with the most emphatic reiteration, that all the Servant's sufferings were vicarious, borne for him, to save him from the consequences of his sins, to enable him to escape... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:4-5

The Divine account of the sufferings of Christ. In these words, which remain ever fresh and sacred, though they are so familiar to our hearts, we have— I. A SAD AND STRIKING PICTURE . It is the picture of the Servant of the Lord, wounded, bruised, chastened, stricken. We cannot fail to see in it the sufferings of the holy Saviour. We see him: 1 . Wounded in body; not only a-hungered and athirst, not only weary with long-continued labours and without the promise of the soft... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:4-5

Man's thoughts of God's Sufferer. The prophet sets before us an unusual Sufferer, and bids us think what can be the explanation of such sufferings. 1 . It might be punishment for sin; as was David's bitter trial in the matter of Absalom. 2 . It might be discipline of character; as was the suffering of Job. Neither of these will suffice for the case that Isaiah presents. 3 . It might be vicarious, a burden-bearing for others. This only will suffice to explain the unusual woes of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:4-6

The suffering Servant of Jehovah. I. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUFFERING . It depicts, by simple force of language, its extreme intensity—not a suffering springing from internal weakness of nature, and so withering and dying like a lamp for want of oil, but " like a torch in its full flame bent and ruffled, and at length blown out by the breath of a north wind." It was a diffused suffering, according to the expression of the psalmist, "like water in his bowels, or oil in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions . This verse contains four asseverations of the great truth that all Christ's sufferings were for us, and constituted the atonement for our sins. The form is varied, but the truth is one. Christ was "wounded" or "pierced" The wounds inflicted by the nails caused his death, He was bruised; or, crushed (comp. Isaiah 3:15 ; Isaiah 19:10 ; Isaiah 57:15 . Psalms 72:4 ). "No stronger expression could be found in Hebrew to denote severity of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:5

The Divine atonement. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities." We shall never understand the atonement. From Anselm's day to our own there have been ever-changing theories of it. But the fact remains; and, mysterious as it is, we learn that there was a Godward aspect of it, as well as a manward aspect. But into "the cup which my Father hath given me to drink" no man, no angel, can look. I. THIS IS THE REVELATION OF DIVINE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 53:6

All we like sheep have gone astray. "All we" means either the whole nation of Israel, which "went astray" in the wilderness of sin ( Psalms 107:4 ; Psalms 119:176 ; Ezekiel 34:6 ), or else the whole race of mankind, which had wandered from the right path, and needed atonement and redemption even mere than Israel itself We have turned every one to his own way. Collectively and individually, the whole world had sinned. There was "none that did good" absolutely—"no, not one" ( Psalms... read more
