Iniquity in Isaiah 53
...He was bruised for our iniquities... (Isa 53:5)
Christ the bruised One.
We see His grace (in that He allowed Himself to be bruised for our iniquities).
...and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. (Isa 53:6)
Christ the burdened One.
We see His greatness (in that He was the only one who could bear that burden).
...for He shall bear their iniquities. (Isa 53:11)
Christ the bearing One.
We see His glory (in that He endured sufferings with such joy and dignity).
