Christ's Sufferings; Their Cause, Nature and Fruits
Isaiah 53:10-11
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed…


The prophet is still dealing with the Jews scandals. Whilst you look only to the outward meanness and sufferings of Christ, you overlook the design of God in Him.

I. THE WILL OF GOD. "It pleased the Lord to bruise Him," etc., that is the cause of His sufferings.

II. THE NATURE OF HIS SUFFERINGS. "When Thou shall make His soul an offering for sin."

III. THE FRUITS OF HIS SUFFERING.

( T. Manton, D.D.)
