SCRIPTURE

"Yet it pleased Jehovah 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 Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities." — Isaiah 53:10-11 (ASV)

And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:

Christ did not die in vain. He will never miss the great object of his death, you may depend upon that. Those drops of blood are far too precious to fall in vain upon the earth.

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. 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.

What gracious gospel words these are, even though they were recorded under the old dispensation! Oh, how you who are full of iniquity, should eagerly seize upon these inspired declarations, which so clearly set forth the substitutionary work of Christ on behalf of the guilty! If you realize your need of such a Savior as he is, how these words should gladden your heart!
