Study Bible

We all like sheep have gone astray
This phrase begins with a powerful metaphor comparing humanity to sheep. In the Hebrew text, the word for "sheep" is "צֹאן" (tso'n), which often symbolizes vulnerability and the tendency to wander without guidance. Sheep are known for their lack of direction and dependence on a shepherd. This imagery is used to illustrate the spiritual condition of humanity, emphasizing our tendency to deviate from God's path. Historically, sheep were a common part of daily life in ancient Israel, making this metaphor relatable and poignant for the original audience. The phrase underscores the universal nature of sin, as "we all" indicates that no one is exempt from this tendency to stray.

Each one has turned to his own way
The phrase "each one" highlights the individual responsibility and personal nature of sin. The Hebrew word "פָּנָה" (panah) means "to turn" and suggests a deliberate action of choosing one's own path over God's. This turning away is not just a passive drifting but an active decision to pursue personal desires and interests. The historical context of Israel often involved turning to idolatry and forsaking God's commandments, which serves as a backdrop for understanding this phrase. It reflects the human inclination to prioritize self-will over divine will, leading to spiritual separation from God.

And the LORD has laid upon Him
Here, the focus shifts to the divine response to humanity's waywardness. The Hebrew word "פָּגַע" (paga) is used for "laid upon," which can mean to cause to meet or to intercede. This suggests a deliberate act of God placing the burden of sin upon another. Theologically, this is a prophetic reference to the Messiah, who Christians believe is Jesus Christ. The phrase indicates God's initiative in addressing the problem of sin, highlighting His sovereignty and grace. It is a profound statement of substitutionary atonement, where the Messiah bears the consequences of humanity's sin.

the iniquity of us all
"Iniquity" in Hebrew is "עָוֹן" (avon), which refers to guilt or the consequences of sin. This term encompasses not just the act of sinning but the inherent corruption and guilt that comes with it. The phrase "of us all" reiterates the collective nature of sin, emphasizing that every person is implicated. In the scriptural context, this points to the comprehensive scope of redemption offered through the Messiah. It is a reminder of the depth of human sinfulness and the extent of God's redemptive plan, which covers all transgressions and offers reconciliation to all who believe.

October 7. "He Opened not his Mouth" (Isa. Liii. 7).
"He opened not His mouth" (Isa. liii. 7). How much grace it requires to bear a misunderstanding rightly, and to receive an unkind judgment in holy sweetness! Nothing tests a Christian character more than to have some evil thing said about him. This is the file that soon proves whether we are electro-plate or solid gold. If we could only know the blessings that lie hidden in our lives, we would say, like David, when Shimei cursed him, "Let him curse; it may be the Lord will requite me good for his …

Messiah Despised, and Rejected of Men
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrow, and acquainted with grief. T he heathen moralists, ignorant of the character and perfections of God, the true dignity and immorality of the soul, and the root and extent of human depravity, had no better foundation, for what they call virtue, than pride; no higher aim in their regulations, than the interests of society, and the conduct of civil life. They expressed, indeed, occasionally, some sentiments of a superior kind; but these, however just …

Sin Charged Upon the Surety
All we like sheep have gone astray: we have turned every one to his own way, and the LORD hath laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. C omparisons, in the Scripture, are frequently to be understood with great limitation: perhaps, out of many circumstances, only one is justly applicable to the case. Thus, when our Lord says, Behold, I come as a thief (Revelation 16:15) , --common sense will fix the resemblance to a single point, that He will come suddenly, and unexpectedly. So when wandering sinners …

It has been objected by some, who dissent from, nay, I may add, by others also, who actually are friends to the present ecclesiastical establishment, that the ministers of the Church of England preach themselves, and not Christ Jesus the Lord; that they entertain their people with lectures of mere morality, without declaring to them the glad tidings of salvation by Jesus Christ. How well grounded such an objection may be, is not my business to inquire: All I shall say at present to the point is, …

I hear no dolorous wailings attending this confession of sin; for the next sentence makes it almost a song. "The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." It is the most grievous sentence of the three; but it is the most charming and the most full of comfort. Strange is it that where misery was concentrated mercy reigned, and where sorrow reached her climax there it is that a weary soul finds sweetest rest. The Savior bruised is the healing of bruised hearts. I want now to draw the hearts of …

Taking our text, then, as a guide, we propose to visit Calvary, hoping to have the help of the Holy Spirit whilst we look upon him who died upon the cross. I would have you notice this morning, first of all, the cause of Christ's death--"It pleased the Lord to bruise him." "It pleased Jehovah to bruise him," saith the original; "he hath put him to grief." Secondly, the reason of Christ's death--"When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin." Christ died because he was an offering for sin. And …

Our text, in its threefold character, shows the intimate connection which exists between Jesus and sinners, for in none of its sentences is there meaning unless there be a sinner, and unless Christ has come into connection with him. It is this one point which I want to work out this morning, and may God bless it to many a sinner's troubled conscience.

"He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter."--Isa. liii, 7. How great was the patience of Jesus!

Philip had been for three years with Him, yet he had "not known Him!"--all that time he had remained in strange and culpable ignorance of his Lord's dignity and glory.

What Messiah did the Jews Expect?
1. The most important point here is to keep in mind the organic unity of the Old Testament. Its predictions are not isolated, but features of one grand prophetic picture; its ritual and institutions parts of one great system; its history, not loosely connected events, but an organic development tending towards a definite end. Viewed in its innermost substance, the history of the Old Testament is not different from its typical institutions, nor yet these two from its predictions. The idea, underlying …

Consolations against Impatience in Sickness.
If in thy sickness by extremity of pain thou be driven to impatience, meditate-- 1. That thy sins have deserved the pains of hell; therefore thou mayest with greater patience endure these fatherly corrections. 2. That these are the scourges of thy heavenly Father, and the rod is in his hand. If thou didst suffer with reverence, being a child, the corrections of thy earthly parents, how much rather shouldst thou now subject thyself, being the child of God, to the chastisement of thy heavenly Father, …

Believe and be Saved
It is the Holy Spirit alone that can draw us to the cross and fasten us to the Saviour. He who thinks he can do without the Spirit, has yet to learn his own sinfulness and helplessness. The gospel would be no good news to the dead in sin, if it did not tell of the love and power of the divine Spirit, as explicitly as it announces the love and power of the divine Substitute. But, while keeping this in mind, we may try to learn from Scripture what is written concerning the bond which connects us individually …
