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 Father was "pleased" to bruise Emmanuel. I. BECAUSE OF THE HOLY SUFFERER'S PERFECT SYMPATHY WITH HIS PURPOSE, as being the vindication of the Divine holiness, "the magnifying of the Divine law," and the upholding of the Divine government. II. BECAUSE UNDER THIS "BRUISING" JESUS WAS MANIFESTING THE DIVINE LOVE AND SYMPATHY FOR AND WITH US — perfect as it was God's, and yet true brotherly, as it was man's. III. BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DESIRED TO SEE IN US. (J. Wylie, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. |
