Isaiah 53 Personalize
Let us muse again today from Isaiah 53 and the theme Isaiah’s Christ and the suffering Savior. It has never excited me that Christ died for the world or for you, but when I saw that He died for me it changed everything. Let us look at Isaiah 53 personalize. I have believed the report because the arm of the Lord was revealed to me. For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground; He has no favor nor comeliness when I shall see Him there is no beauty that I should desire Him. He is despised and rejected of me. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with my grief and I hid as it were my face from Him. He was despised and I esteemed Him as nothing. Surely He hath borne my grief and carried my sorrows yet I did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for my transgressions He was bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of my peace was laid on Him and by His stripes I am healed. I was like a sheep going astray I turn to my own way and the Lord laid on Him all of my sins. He was numbered with the transgressors and He bare my sins away and now makes intercession for this old sinner.
