… than that of Isaiah. When in describing a scene he will never see with his own bare eyes, he writes these words, Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer. And though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied. By his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong. Because he poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the transgressors, for he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors." Ultimately, all of these questions must be brought to the foot of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm sure that's why John Stott on one occasion said, I could never believe in God, were it not for the cross. For in the cross, God comes and deals with it all and enters into our suffering and pours out his blood, dying for those who hate him and revile him, and in his death, praying for his enemies. …
… And listen to the details of this 700 years before it actually happened. Isaiah 53, verses 7 to 12. He was beaten down and punished. Talking about Jesus on the cross, before the cross. But he didn't say a word. That all happened. he was led out like a lamb to be slaughtered he was condemned to death without fair judgment and then he was put to death for the transgressions of everyone else that's us he died like a criminal but then was buried with the rich even though he'd done nothing wrong and had never lied you know this is true Jesus died on the cross as a criminal you know that was the worst capital punishment available. It's humiliating, death on the cross. But when they took him down, there was a wealthy man named Joseph of Arimathea who had a brand new tomb he'd bought for his family. He often buried people in the same tomb for decades. There was like a hole in the wall of a cave, and then he covered it up. And Joseph of Arimathea was quite wealthy, but he offered his tomb for Jesus. He goes, you're not going to need it very long. …
… And by his stripes, his wounds, we are healed. Isaiah 53.10 says it like this, yet it was the Lord's will to crush him. Let that resonate for just a moment. I struggle to get through this without crying every time I read it. Isaiah 53, go home and read Isaiah 53 tonight. If you want to know who our Jesus is, go home and read this whole chapter. and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin. One version of the Bible said it pleased the Lord to crush him, not because God delighted in his son's pain, but because he delighted in the salvation that would come from his suffering. In Gethsemane, Jesus was so overwhelmed that his sweat began to turn to blood. He knows anguish. He knows grief. He knows what it feels like to be crushed. And he faced every bit of it alone so that you and I would never have to. What a God. What a God that would love me and you so much that he would send his only begotten son to be taken by a world that would reject him, to be broken and beaten and bruised for our peace, for our sin. He was broken open, daka, the Hebrew word there, it literally means beat to pieces, to crush, to be broken and bruised.
