https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 4 * BOOK 61 ISAIAH 51 - 53 - PART 2 This great chapter was written 700 years before Christ and depicts the crucifixion so graphically. Isaiah 53:8 All right, let’s go to Daniel. Let’s jump up to Daniel chapter 9. This is that great chapter of the benchmark of all prophecy. Now, verse 26. All right, now in Isaiah chapter 53 verse 9, there is another direct prophecy that was fulfilled to the last detail. Isaiah 53:9a Isaiah 53:9b Now, verse 10: Isaiah 53:10a "Yet it pleased the LORD (that is God the Father in this case) to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,…" There had to be a sin offering to restore the fellowship of mankind with the Creator God. Let’s go back to Genesis chapter 3 or 4. Let’s go to chapter 4 and drop in at verse 4. It was a sin offering. Now, let’s compare that all the way up to Hebrews, chapter 11, and drop down to verse 4. Hebrews 11:4 "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice (What kind of a sacrifice? It was a sin offering to cover his sin.) All right, come back to Isaiah 53, again. So, Christ became that sin offering, not just for Israel but for the whole human race. All right, let’s see, where was I? Verse 10. Isaiah 53:10a "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin," The sins of the whole world. There was no way humanly possible for anybody to show what Christ really accomplished when He settled the sin debt of the whole human race. Every sin was paid for in that death at the cross. Isaiah 53:10b The resurrection! Isaiah 53:11a finished." No, beloved, it was finished! It’s that finished work plus NOTHING that brings our salvation. Isaiah 53:11a Let’s go up to Romans chapter 3 and see how this same suffering Messiah now becomes the object of faith of not just Israel but of the whole world, Jew and Gentile. Romans 3:9a are we (Now, remember, Paul can speak as a Jew.) Those Gentiles? Romans 3:9b-10 that both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin. Not even amongst the Gentiles. Romans 3:19a that what things soever the law saith, (Now, the Law here is a reference to the Ten Commandments.) it saith to them who are under the law:" Now, I think you all know who was under the Law. Israel. The Jew. Gentiles weren’t under the Law, ever. But the Law didn’t stop at Israel’s border. Romans 3:19b "…that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world (not just Israel) may become guilty before God. Romans 3:20 The Law wasn’t given to save. The Law was given to condemn. Romans 3:20b "…for by the law is the knowledge of sin." All right, but now, verse 21. Romans 3:21 "But now the righteousness of God without the law (See that? Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ (and now look) unto all and upon all them that…" Romans 3:22 "…believe:…" Faith. By faith. Romans 3:22 We might as well just keep reading verse after verse. Romans 3:23-24 "For all (Jew and Gentile) have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely (not by works but) by his grace through the redemption (or the process of paying the price) that is in Christ Jesus:" What was the price of redemption? His shed blood. Romans 3:25a "Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his (what?) blood,…" "…through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. Romans 3:26b We’re justified by faith in Jesus Christ! Not His earthly ministry, but rather, by faith in His death, burial, and resurrection! Romans 3:27a-28 Isaiah 53:11c-12 Remember thou me." Psalms 22:1-2a "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? (As He’s suffering) 2. O my God,…" Now, let’s be careful. When Christ called out to God here on earth, He cried out from His humanity. Whenever He prayed He prayed from His human side. When He used His Deity side He didn’t have to pray, He was God. Well, who was He to forgive that woman’s sin? He was God! That’s why He could forgive her sin. Psalms 22:2 3. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. (That is the God of Abraham.) 4. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6. But I (Now, the God-man, speaking from His humanity) am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people." Now, what’s he speaking of? Psalms 22:7-8 "Well, if thou be God let the angels come down and take you down." All right, now verse 9: Psalms 22:9 Psalms 22:10 "I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from mother’s belly. Now, verse 13: Psalms 22:13-14a #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
