Christ's Intercession for Transgressors
Isaiah 53:12
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong…

1. As a holy, godly man; so He was to fulfil all righteousness.

2. As a mediator and public person, that was to be our High Priest, to satisfy and intercede.

( T. Manton D. D.)
