Isaiah 53:10. “Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief; when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.”
IT PLEASED THE LORD. It pleased the Lord the sinless Servant should offer Himself This was indeed in the will of the Lord – He suffered for our sakes there could be no one else – To bruise His Son brought satisfaction to God.
It has pleased God, to make all fullness dwell in His Son – Christ was always fully God who became fully man. We dare not diminish any aspect of Christ – He will be, and always has been eternally divine. [Col.1:19]
It has pleased God, to save them that believe on Christ – Through the Gospel, we sinners are brought to Him. Society all around us has many other gods, Not one of their choices will bring salvation to them. [1Cor.1:21]
It has pleased God, to reveal His Son in saved sinners Who by His grace He has reached and saved; Throughout our lives we can show who Christ is Through our words and deeds, and by what we give. [Gal.1:15-16]
It has pleased God to make His people a channel – Though undeserving of the least of His mercies – Pointing the way to our coming Messiah Who will be revealed some day, bringing blessings. [1Sam.12:22]
It has pleased God to make many of us one In Christ – we are members of His unified Body.
All are affected by what happens in us – United, there is strength – challenging each one to be holy. [1Cor.12:18]
It has pleased God that we will have a resurrected body, Sanctified, prepared – ready for whatever He will choose. Then we will be like what now we ought to – Members in His Body, ready and willing for Him to use. [1Cor.15:38]
“What a delight it is for me, O God my Father, to read of the great delight Thou had in Thy Son-Servant. But there are some things I wonder at, in an emotional way, that I can grasp in a spiritual way. When His soul was made an offering for sin – I know this was needed that justice be done on my behalf. Yet, there is such depths of infinite justice and love in that statement that I will never be able to fathom all it means. But I thank Thee sincerely, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
