Isa 53 the passion of the christ

Scripture Reading
Heb. 13:12. "And when
they were come to the
place, which is called
Calvary, there they
crucified Him."
"That He might sanctify
the people with His
own blood,"
Christ "suffered without
the gate."

For transgression of the law of God,
Adam and Eve were banished from Eden.
Christ, our substitute, was to suffer without the
boundaries of Jerusalem.
He died outside the gate,
where felons and murderers were executed.

The birth, and life of Jesus, should be read on a
daily/weekly/monthly basis.

Maranatha pg. 77
It would be well to spend a thoughtful hour
each day, reviewing the life of Christ from
the manger, to Calvary.
We should take it point by point, and let the
imagination vividly grasp each scene,
especially the closing ones of His earthly
life.
By thus contemplating His teachings, and
sufferings, and the infinite sacrifice made
by Him, for the redemption of the race, we
may strengthen our faith, quicken our
love, and become more deeply fill, with
the spirit which sustained our Saviour.
If we would be saved …. we must all learn
the lesson of penitence, and faith, at the
foot of the cross. . . .
Everything noble, and generous in man, will
respond to the contemplation of Christ
upon the cross.

I would suggest that the
book of Matthew be read.

Let’s turn there for a moment

Matthew 2:1-50
Talks about Jesus'
birth, vs.1
Herod seek to kill
Him,
vs. 8
Parents flees to
Egypt,
vs. 13-14

Jesus is baptized

He is tempted 40 days
Jesus starts His Ministry,
Healing all manner of diseases

Matthew 12:14
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a
council against him, how they might destroy
him.

Luke 20:19-20
And the chief priests and the scribes
the same hour sought to lay
hands on him; and they feared
the people: for they perceived
that he had spoken this parable
against them.
And they watched him, and sent
forth spies, which should feign
themselves just men, that they
might take hold of his words,
that so they might deliver him
unto the power and authority of
the governor.

Luke 11:53-54
They lay wait to criticize Him

Luke 13:14
And the ruler of
the synagogue
answered with
indignation,
(deep hatred)

Matthew 13:54-58
Rejected in His own
town
• Whole towns
rejected Him
Luke 8:37

• Rejected by
Samaria
Luke 9:51-
56

Luke 4:28, 29
Throw
Him off
a cliff

The Cross is the greatest revelation of God's divine nature.
There is nothing anyone can do,
say,
or preach,
that will reveal more about God,
than
THE CROSS.

Let’s say this again
It would be well for us to spend a
thoughtful hour each day in
contemplation of the life of Christ.
We should take it point by point, and let
the imagination grasp each scene,
especially the closing ones.
As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice
for us, our confidence in Him will be
more constant, our love will be
quickened, and we shall be more deeply
imbued with His spirit.
If we would be saved at last, we must
learn the lesson of penitence and
humiliation at the foot of the cross.

Are you able to handle the cross?
Lets turn to Isa 53

I would suggest that we all get
the book by Pastor Johnson

In one of the chapters, Pastor Johnson, speaks of the physical torture Christ went through.
It may change your life.

4BC 1147
Prophecy foretold that Christ was to appear as a
root out of dry ground, Isa 53:2
This chapter should be studied.
It presents Christ as the Lamb of God.
Those who are lifted up with pride,
whose souls are filled with vanity,
should look upon this picture of their Redeemer,
and humble themselves in the dust.
The entire chapter should be committed to
memory.
Its influence will subdue, and humble the soul,
defiled by sin, and uplifted by self-exaltation.

YI Dec. 20, 1900
Think of Christ's humiliation.
He took upon Himself, fallen, suffering
human nature, degraded and defiled by
sin.
He took our sorrows, bearing our grief, and
shame.
He endured all the temptations wherewith
man is beset.
He united humanity with divinity:
a divine spirit dwelt in a temple of flesh.
He united Himself with the temple.
John 1:14

MS 77, 1899 It was not alone,
by dying on the cross,
that Christ accomplished His work of saving
men.
The ignominy, and suffering, and
humiliation, was a part of His mission….
This penalty,
Christ has borne the punishment for every
man,
and for this reason, He can ransom every
soul,
however fallen his condition,
If
he will accept the law of God as his standard

Let’s now turn to
Isa. 53 Isa. 53:1
It is all about Jesus!
Who hath
believed our
report?
And to whom is
the arm of the
LORD
revealed?

Isa. 53:2
For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
He hath no form, nor comeliness;
And when we shall see Him,
there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

MS 33, 1911
These words do not mean that Christ was unattractive in
person.
In the eyes of the Jews, Christ had no beauty that they
should desire Him.
They looked for a Messiah who would come with outward
display, and worldly glory, one who would do great
things for the Jewish nation, exalting it above every
other nation on the earth.
But Christ came with His divinity hidden by the garb of
humanity, unobtrusive, humble, poor.
They, the Jews, compared this man with the proud boasts
they had made, and they could see no beauty in Him.
They did not discern the holiness and purity of His
character.
The grace and virtue revealed in His life, did not appeal to
them.

Isa. 53:3
He is despised and rejected of men

Isa. 53:3
A man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief:

Isa. 53:3
And we hid as it were our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Isa. 53:4
Surely He hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows:

Isa. 53:4
Yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten
of God, and afflicted.

Isa. 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,

Isa. 53:5
He was bruised for our iniquities:

Isa. 53:5
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him

Isa. 53:5
And with His stripes, we are healed.

Isa. 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned every one, to his own way;
And the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Isa. 53:7
He was oppressed,
and He was afflicted,
yet He opened not His mouth:

Isa. 53:7
He is brought as
a lamb to the
slaughter, and
as a sheep
before her
shearers is
dumb,
So He openeth
not His mouth.

Isa. 53:8
He was taken from prison and from judgment:
And who shall declare his generation?
For He was cut off out of the land of the living:
For the transgression of my people was He stricken.

Isa. 53:9
And He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich
in His death;
Because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in
His mouth.

MS 42, 1901
Satan assailed Him, Christ, in every point,
yet He sinned not in thought, word, or deed.
He did no violence, neither was guile found in His
mouth.
Walking in the midst of sin, He was holy, harmless,
undefiled.
He was wrongfully accused,
yet He opened not His mouth to justify Himself.
How many now,
when accused of that of which they are not guilty,
feel that there is a time when forbearance ceases to be a
virtue,
and losing their temper,
speak words which grieve the Holy Spirit?

Isa. 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.

Isa. 53:11
He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied:
By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;
For He shall bear their iniquities.

Isa. 53:12
Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great,
and He shall divide the spoil with the strong;
Because He hath poured out His soul unto death:
And He was numbered with the transgressors;
And He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

6T 309
The angels were waiting to welcome Jesus as
He ascended after His resurrection.
The heavenly host longed to greet again,
their loved Commander,
returned to them from the prison house of
death.
Eagerly they pressed about Him as He entered
the gates of heaven.
But He waved them back.
His heart was with the lonely, sorrowing band
of disciples whom He had left upon Olivet.
It is still with His struggling children on earth,
who have the battle with the destroyer yet to
wage.

Are you able to handle the cross?

The spotless Son of God hung upon the cross,
His flesh lacerated with stripes;
Those hands so often reached out in blessing,
nailed to the wooden bars;
Those feet so tireless on ministries of love,
spiked to the tree;
That royal head pierced by the crown of thorns;
those quivering lips shaped to the cry of woe.

And all that He endured,
the blood drops that flowed from His head,
His hands,
His feet,
the agony that racked His frame,
and the unutterable anguish that filled His soul at the hiding of His Father's face,
speaks to each child of humanity,
to me,
declaring,

It is for thee,
that the Son of God consents to bear this burden of guilt;
For thee,
He spoils the domain of death,
and opens the gates of Paradise.

He,
who stilled the angry waves,
and walked the foam-capped billows,
who made devils tremble, and disease flee,
who opened blind eyes and called forth the dead to life,
offers Himself upon the cross as a sacrifice,
and this,
from love to thee.

He,
The Sin Bearer,
endures the wrath of divine justice,
and for thy sake,
for my sake
becomes sin itself.

I,
we,
need to come to the Foot of the Cross,
to see the real picture of why God allowed His one and only Son,
to leave everything,
just for me,
for us.

CAN YOU HANDLE THE
CROSS?

Righteousness Through Christ
The love existing between the Father
and His Son, cannot be portrayed.
It is measureless.
In Christ, God saw the beauty and
perfection of excellence that dwells in
Himself.
Wonder, O heavens,
and be astonished, O earth,
for God spared not His own Son,
but gave Him up to be made sin for us,
that those who believe may be made
the righteousness of God,
in Him. . . .
