Contents: The vicarious sacrifice of Christ, the servant of Jehovah.

Characters: God, Christ.

Conclusion: The whole race of mankind lies under the stain of original corruption, all gone astray from God. God, in love sent His only begotten Son into the world, who voluntarily made Himself an offering for sin. He submitted Himself to the disgraces and afflictions due to the worst of men, that those who should believe on Him, might have the joy and glory due to Him as the one perfect man.

Key Word: Man of sorrows, Isaiah 53:3.

Strong Verses: Isaiah 53:3; Isaiah 53:4; Isaiah 53:5; Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 53:7; Isaiah 53:10; Isaiah 53:11.

Striking Facts: Christ rose in the world as a tender plant. The greater part of those among whom He lived saw none of His beauty. Because He announced Himself as the Savior of the world, He was abandoned and abhorred. Nevertheless God highly exalted Him, and He appears in heaven to make intercession for all who accept His sacrifice.
