Isaiah 53:4
Verse 4 of 12
Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 53:4
Theological / DevotionalOur griefs. Verses 4-6 emphasize the vicarious nature of Christ’s sufferings and death. The fact that it was for us, and not for Himself, that He suffered and died is reiterated nine times in these verses, and again in vs. 8, 11. He suffered in our stead. The pain, humiliation, and abuse that we deserve, He took upon Himself (see DA 25).
Smitten of God. The enemy made it appear that the sufferings of Jesus were punishment inflicted upon Him by a vengeful God because He was a sinner (see DA 471). If that were true, He could not be the world’s Redeemer.
