Christ's Love and Man's Unthankfulness
Isaiah 53:4-6
Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.…


I. CHRIST'S LOVE.

1. The certainty of what is averred of Christ: "Surely."

2. The acts of Christ's obedience, set forth in two words: He hath "borne," He hath "carried."

3. The objects. They are "griefs," "sorrows."

II. MAN'S UNTHANKFULNESS, in censuring Christ and despising Him; and there consider —

1. The persons: "We."

2. The guilt. Esteeming Christ stricken and smitten of God.

( T. Manton, D.D.)
