This is the message Apostle Paul proclaims in 2 Corinthians: Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. The Lord, God the Father, delivered Him, God the Son, to die for our sins. By His bruise, we are saved from an eternity of suffering and estrangement from God.

( Isaiah 53:5-7)Ĭhrist, who was free from sin, took our chastisement and gave us peace. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. All we like sheep have gone astray We have turned, every one, to his own way And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 'O marvel at the loving-kindness of the Word, that for our sakes He is dishonored, that we may be brought to honor.' (Athanasius the Great) We are Healed by His Stripesīut He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. God became dishonored, for Christ assumed a true human nature. 'He has no form or comeliness' relates to Christ as He sat upon the foal of an ass He was despised among the people and humbled Himself even unto death. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. ( Isaiah 53:1-4) And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He has no form or comeliness And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. O Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. Let's go through the 53rd chapter of Isaiah and explore the meaning of its text in relation to Jesus Christ.
