Christ's Death and the Law of God
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…


By His death the Servant did homage to the law of God. By dying to it He made men feel that the supreme end of man was to own that law and be in a right relation to it, and that the supreme service was to help others to a right relation. As it is said a little farther down, "My Servant, righteous Himself, wins righteousness for many, and makes their iniquities His load.

(Prof. G.A. Smith, D.D.)
