Isaiah 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many… Jesus Christ taketh an infinite satisfaction in the salvation of sinners. I. EVIDENCES OF IT. 1. Christ pleased and entertained Himself in the thought of it before the world was (Proverbs 8:31). 2. This was the end and aim of His coming into the world; and it is pleasant when a man hath attained his end, especially if it be greatly desired and much laboured for. For delight is according to the degree of the desire and labour. 3. Now, in heaven it is His rejoicing to see the work thrive. 4. When He shall come from heaven to judge the world, with what triumph and rejoicing will He come, when He shall deliver up the kingdom to the Father! II. THE REASONS OF IT. His love was the cause of all — His love to the Father, and His love to the saints. ( T. Manton, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
