The Servant of the Lord God, Part II
Chapter 52-53
Look – My Servant will deal wisely. He will be honored and respected, set on high. My Servant, you took them by surprise, therefore your face and body were disfigured beyond other men. In this way, He will startle everyone — Kings will not know what to say — they didn't expect this. Who WOULD expect this, anyway? There was no obvious way to tell that this was the very Power of God. There wasn't anything particularly beautiful about Him.
In fact, He was despised and rejected by the people. He was a man of sorrow, well acquainted with grief. We averted our eyes from even the sight of such a man! But these sorrows and grief that He bore were ours, though at the time, we just assumed He was cursed by God Himself. Yet the fact is that He was beaten and wounded for our sins and disobedience; and by those gashes and wounds we ourselves have been healed and our peace restored.
They killed Him among the wicked, but buried Him with the rich. He did wrong by noone, nor did He ever lie to anyone, but somehow still the Lord saw it fit to crush Him, and make his totality an offering for sin.
He will see His descendants, though, and His life will extend will God's blessing and smile. He will look back upon His work and be pleased with what He has done. My Righteous Servant's knowledge will redeem many, because He took away their sin. Therefore He will always be named as strong and great, because He offered up His own soul, even to death, and was Himself labelled as a sinner, though it was He that bore their sins and asked the Lord on their behalf.
