Isaiah 53:4

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:4

Isaiah 53:4 Jesus Christ is the comforter we need, for I. He is an afflicted Man, the most afflicted of all the human race, a Man of sorrows. If He wishes to sympathise He has only to recall the past. We cannot take a single step in our gloomy path without finding some traces of Him. We cannot light upon an affliction through which He has not passed before us. He knows what sorrow is, and this is why He can comfort. We have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 53:1-12

By Chuck SmithWhen men made chapter and verse divisions, they did make mistakes. The Word of God is divinely inspired; it's inerrant. But men, for the sake of helping us to find scriptures and to memorize passages, divided the Bible into chapter and verses. And it's a very convenient way to reference. However, many times they made the divisions in the wrong place, and in our reading we are prone to read to an end of a chapter and then quit until the next reading. And sometimes the thought... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 53:1-12

Isaiah 53:1 . Who hath believed our report; and to whom is (the Messiah) the mighty arm of the Lord revealed? This complaint of the servants is but the plaintive echo of their Master’s voice. He had said in the Spirit, “I have laboured in vain, and spent my strength for nought; yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work is with my God.” But he spake not in despair; his righteousness sustained him. “Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord,... read more

Isaiah 53:1-12Who hath believed our report?--The Messiah referred to in Isaiah 53:1-12By some it has been supposed, in ancient times and in modern, that the prophet was referring to the sufferings of the nation of Israel--either of Israel as a whole or of the righteous section of the nation--and to the benefits that would accrue from those sufferings to the surrounding peoples, some of whom were contemptuous of Israel, all of whom may be described as ignorant of God. But to defend that opinion... read more

Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Ver. 4. Surely he hath borne our griefs. ] He took our infirmities natural, though not sinful; or, He suffered for our offences. And his satis sufficient passion is our satisfaction, as Luther phraseth it.
