I hear a great talk about the example of Christ having great effect upon ungodly men; but I do not believe it, and certainly have never seen it. And if it doesn't refer to Jesus Christ, it can't refer to any other person in history. Let it always be our meat and drink, as it was Christ's, to do God's will. THE STORY OF THE CROSS - GOOD FRIDAY . This allows me to push my text just one point further. It was grace, and only grace which led the divine mind to say, "I will accept of a substitute. The punishment Christ went through on the cross was placed on him by us rather than God, and if we "give an offering for sin," that is faith in Jesus and true repentance (metanoia), our souls shall receive eternal life, or a prolonged seed, as well. The reverse of this doctrine, that sin demands punishment, may be used to prove it; for it is highly immoral, dangerous, and opens the floodgates of licentiousness to teach that sin can go unpunished. When men brought bulls and goats as sacrifices for sin they made them offerings, for they had an interest in them, God having put them under the feet of man. Do you know anything about this new birth? I'm in love with Paul. Take him to the bath and wash him! Interesting prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. Is this the experience of our life in Christ? Taking our text, then, as a guide, we propose to visit Calvary, hoping to have the help of the Holy Spirit whilst we look upon him who died upon the cross. It is so in pecuniary matters, but it is not so in penal matters. He who reads Christ's life, as a mere history, traces the death of Christ to the enmity of the Jews, and to the fickle character of the Roman governor. Consequently, we must come to the death of Christ; for in no other way can satisfaction be given to God. He has a seed even he whom, unseen, we this night adore.

The gallant vessel of the church ploughed the red waves of a crimson sea, her prow scarlet with gore, but the ship itself was the better for its washing, and sailed all the more gallantly because of boisterous winds. The apparent miscarriage of justice just described (Isaiah 53:9) would not be what it would appear to be. Isaiah 53 /. what a debtor to grace you will be! Much of the glory with which Christ is recompensed, and the spoil which he has divided, consists in the vast multitudes of willing, faithful, loyal subjects, that shall be brought in to him; for so some read it: I will give many to him, and he shall obtain many for a spoil. Now all of this written 700 years before Christ was born. If he had looked to all eternity, he could not have seen anything in us worthy of so great a suffering as that which he endured; but he did it for charity's sake, for love's sake. One hundred years ago or so, throughout the most of our Dissenting churches, a sort of Unitarianism was triumphant. Men forsake the faith, but God is faithful still. For He was wounded for our transgressions. Christianity is not a natural growth: it is constantly a divine creation. This is what is called the governmental theory, that it is necessary for the maintenance of good order that an offender should be punished, but that there is nothing in sin itself which absolutely requires a penalty. If thou wilt perish, it is not for want of earnest pleading with thee. God, the one God of heaven and earth, hath the book of destiny entirely in his power. See! Paul said, "For a righteous man some might dare to die: for a good man peradventure some would even give their lives. That the Lord bruised him, not only permitted men to bruise him, but awakened his own sword against him, Zechariah 13:7. Here Isaiah declares that it was so shocking. There is no song of praise.

And, thirdly and lastly, that posterity is under his immediate eye at all times, for "He shall see his seed." He has done so in the Saviour; and what God provides, God must and will accept. Have we not all around us persons who say that they are Christians, and are not, but do lie. It is Christ's life that is in every true believer "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God; when Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory." Come, now, sir, wilt thou now fall flat at the foot of the cross, and rest thy soul's eternal destiny in the pierced hands of Jesus of Nazareth? As he was the root of the Jewish church, and the covenant was made with him and his seed, so is Christ of the universal church and with him and his spiritual seed is the covenant of grace made, which is grounded upon and grafted in the covenant of redemption, which here we have some of the glorious promises of. Mark the serenity of the martyrs countenance. I'm guilty! To it, the eyes of all the saints who lived before the Christian era were always directed; and backwards, through the thousand years of history, the eyes of all modern saints are looking. It is the good pleasure of the Lord, which denotes not only his counsel concerning it, but his complacency in it; and therefore God loved him, and was well pleased in him, because he undertook to lay down his life for the sheep. Isa 53:1. . And sometimes the thought carries right through, so that in the dividing of the chapters, they should have ended chapter 52 with verse Isaiah 53:12 .

They claim that in Isaiah 7:14 the word "Almah" is translated as the Greek "parthenos" which they claim means virgin. Amen. Over head and ears in debt, plunge yourself by a simple act of trusting in Jesus, and you are saved. Sinner, God will never destroy you merely to maintain his government, or for the good of others. You are of the blood royal of heaven. Think of the distance, "From the highest throne in glory To the cross of deepest woe,". God's living children may not seem to be quite so handsome, nor so charmingly arrayed as you are, and in their own esteem they may not be worthy to consort with you; but there is a solemn difference between the living child and the dead child, however you may try to conceal it. Isa 53:2. . Now, we begin by opposing all this, and asserting, and we believe we have God's warrant of it, that sin intrinsically and in itself demands and deserves the just anger of God, and that that anger should be displayed in the form of a punishment. The Word of God is divinely inspired; it's inerrant. Amen. His side was pierced; he was given up by the Roman authorities for burial; the imperial authorities were sure of his death. Septuagint: Isaiah 3:10 (Tanakh/KJV) Isaiah 3:10 (NET) Isaiah 3:10 (NETS) Isaiah 3:10 (Elpenor English) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings ().Tell the innocent it will go well with them, for they will be rewarded for what they have done (mall, ).

He has determined that you shall not do what you have vowed. Dear children of God, do not be afraid that Christ's work will break down because he is dead. He doesn't even look like a human being. The word is here used not with spedfie reference to this kind of oblation, but as a generic term for expiatory sacrifice. Why did God provide a sin-offering but for sinners? We have sure and infallible proofs of it. The hour approacheth when old Rome shall shake upon her seven hills, when Mohammed's crescent shall wane to wax no more, when all the gods of the heathens shall lose their thrones and be cast out to the moles and the bats; and then, when from the equator to the poles Christ shall be honored, the Lord paramount of earth, when from land to land, from the river even to the ends of the earth, one King shall reign, one shout shall be raised, "Hallelujah, hallelujah, the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth." Beloved, we shall have many with us, whilst this morning we turn our face to the Mount of Calvary. Let us add, however, to this, that, although Jesus Christ's dying as a substitute does give to him lawful right to all promised privileges, and does make him, as the covenant head of his people a claimant of the divine mercy, yet it does not render any of the gifts which we receive from God the less gifts from God.

You know the patriarch. He died to purchase and purify them to himself, fell to the ground as a corn of wheat, that he might bring forth much fruit,John 12:24. Mosiah 14:8 (Isaiah 53:8) provides "transgressions" instead of "transgression," and Mosiah 14:12 (Isaiah 53:12) gives "sins" instead of "sin.". (4.) Wrong! He whom God the Father hath accepted as a sin offering hath perfected forever thou who are set apart. Is it not the old proverb that you are not to take coals to Newcastle? See 1Peter 1;10-12.

(Numbers 36:13) Again, the Lord did this by the hands of David; that is, he made use of David as his minister in that matter. Here is heroism indeed; but God spared not his own Son, his only-begotten Son, but freely delivered him up for us all. There is no merit of thine needed; there is merit enough in Christ.

"He shall see his seed." He that wings an angel and guides a sparrow, he that protects the hairs of our head from falling prematurely to the ground, was not likely, when he took notice of such little things, to omit in his solemn decrees the greatest wonder of earth's miracles, the death of Christ.
