The Righteous Servant—Easter Series Part 11

As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and http://www.sol-aid.net/acheter-du-viagra-en-ligne-où/ be satisfied; by His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities. Isaiah 53:11

The book of Hebrews encourages believers to fix their eyes upon Jesus “who for the joy set before Him endured the generic cialis 24 h buy bluetunadocs.com cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (see Hebrews 12:2). This underscores what Isaiah prophesied about the suffering Servant. The anguish of the Messiah on our behalf was extreme beyond measure, yet the glorious results far outweighed the agony of His sacrifice.

As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied…  

His anguish was on purpose to accomplish a purpose. As a result of His anguish, God’s will was carried out, resulting in fullness of joy and abundance of fruit. With great satisfaction, the Servant who suffered for us has been able to look back on His passion without regret. He told His followers before it all happened, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). Who would have thought that through His hour of humiliation, agonizing suffering, apparent defeat, and death that He would soon view it all as joy, satisfaction, and a job well done? The prophet Isaiah knew it by the lasix a vendre Spirit of God.

Matthew Henry said it this way: “God will be glorified, penitent believers will be justified, and then Christ will be satisfied” (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/mhc/Isa/Isa_053.cfm).

…by His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities.

The Suffering Servant is now called the Righteous Servant. Throughout all of His sufferings, this Servant never lost sight of His mission and lived sinlessly despite being tempted in all ways as we. Only a pure and spotless Substitute could bear our sin and take on the full force of God’s wrath against it as He did. After becoming sin for us (see 2 Corinthians 5:21), the Servant emerged triumphant over sin, death, and hell. From start to finish, He Himself remained guiltless as He bore our guilt.

Through knowing Him and accepting what He accomplished that day on the cross, many are justified.

What does this mean? The Hebrew word for “justify” means “to be just” or “to be righteous” (see http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/Lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?strongs=H6663&t=KJV). Therefore, by the knowledge of the Righteous One you are made just; you are made to be righteous. Second Corinthians 5:21 says it like this: “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

This is why Jesus came to earth. He came to die in your place and comprar cialis online fresiaahora.cl mine as our sinless Substitute, bearing our judgment, so that we could be freed from the domination of sin and be reborn to live transformed, righteous lives through faith in Him.

By knowing Him, you can now know peace. Your guilt has been dealt with by the Righteous One.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh… Romans 8:3

But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God…For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Hebrews 10:12, 14
