In Isaiah, chapter fifty-three, verse ten, “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” It was the will of God the Father that His Son be sent to die on the cross for a lost world. By making Christ an atoning sacrifice for all transgressions. God’s redemptive purpose of bringing many people to salvation has been accomplished. He will “prolong His days,” which means that Christ will rise from the dead and live forever.
The sufferings of the Servant are referred not to chance or fate, or even the wickedness of his persecutors, but to the absolute “good-pleasure” of the Father, manifesting itself in its fullest measure in the hour of apparent failure. Come, and see how Christ loved us! We could not put him in our stead, but he put himself. Therefore, He took away the sin of the world by taking it on himself. He made himself subject to death, which to us is the wages of sin. Observe the graces and glories of his state of exaltation. Christ will not commit the care of His family to any other. God’s purposes shall take effect. And whatever is undertaken according to God’s pleasure shall prosper. He shall see it accomplished in the conversion and salvation of sinners.
Because the Messiah had voluntarily submitted himself to those sorrows which were necessary to show the evil of sin; and in view of the great object to be gained, the eternal redemption of his people, he was pleased that he would subject himself to so great sorrows to save them. God gave His Son.
