The Satisfaction of Christ's Sufferings
Isaiah 53:11
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many…


I. WHAT WAS THE TRAVAIL OF CHRIST ?

II. WHY HE SUBMITTED TO IT.

III. WHY AND WHEN HE IS SATISFIED THAT HE ENDURED IT.

1. He is satisfied when He sees any penitent transgressor alarmed by His warnings, or touched by His merciful invitations, and turning to the obedience which he owes to God.

2. When He sees those whom He has redeemed walking uprightly before God.

3. The last and fullest recompense of the Redeemer s sufferings is still to come; to come in that great and joyful day, when He shall see the family which He has ransomed with His blood surrounding His throne in glory.

(J. B. Sumner, M.A.)
