The Suffering Christ
Isaiah 53:3-7
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him…


I. THE MATTER, what He suffered.

II. THE MANNER, how He came to suffer.

III. THE REASONS and ends why, for our good. Here are three chief lessons for a Christian to learn: —

1. Patience and comfort.

2. Humility.

3. In the end, love. All this was for you. What will you do for God again?

( T. Manton, D.D.)
