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).

More from Choice Gleanings

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. - Isaiah 1:18

The infinite LORD of Glory requests to communicate with sinful man. “Deity stoops to speak to dust.” Look again at Calvary and see our Saviour, bearing in our stead, the “consuming fire” of judgment that we deserved. Now the scarlet sins have been forgiven and God sees us as white as snow. Listen now to the Saviour, “Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee” (Matt. 9:2). —Milton Haack

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away, and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul. —John Peterson
