Isaiah 53, verse 10. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise
him. He has put him to grief. When
you 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. Let's pray. O Lord, we thank
you for your word. We thank you for this passage
about the Lord Jesus Christ, the suffering servant. Help us
to see him in this passage. We thank you that he was crucified
for our iniquities and he was raised for our justification,
and that was according to your sovereign plan and purpose. Help
us to know this and to believe this and to understand just how
much his death accomplished. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
We're continuing in a series, a long drawn out series on Isaiah
53, which is a passage that's all about Jesus, the suffering
servant of the Lord. And here in this verse, 10, focuses
on what Jesus' death accomplished. We know that it wasn't an accident.
We know that his death was part of God's purpose, God's sovereign
plan. And verse 10 even says that very
clearly in the beginning when it says that it pleased or it
was God's purpose to bruise him. But what did it accomplish? What
difference does Jesus' death make in our lives here today? Well, this passage gives three
things, three things that are different because of his death. First, a seed, a resurrection,
and a reign. First, seed. Isaiah 53 says,
he shall see his seed. The Bible teaches that it's all
of those who believe in Jesus are his spiritual seed. Hebrews
2.13 actually quotes Jesus as saying this, here am I and the
children whom God has given me. And it goes on to say, inasmuch
then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself
likewise shared in the same, that through death he might destroy
him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release
those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject
to bondage. Psalm 22 says that a seed shall
serve him. It will be recounted of the Lord
to the next generation. They will come and declare his
righteousness to a people who will be born, that he has done
this. Hebrews 12 tells us that Jesus,
for the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross, despising
the shame. What was the joy that was set
before him? It was the joy of seeing his
seed, of bringing many sons to glory. And Jesus will see seed that
will be a vast multitude of people from every tribe and tongue and
nation whom he has redeemed. Revelation 5 gives us a picture,
even now, of the worship that's happening in heaven, and it shows
us what that's like. It shows us a worship service
where it's Jesus' seed are praising him. And they say this, you are
worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals for you were
slain and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every
tribe and tongue and people and nation and have made us kings
and priests to our God and we shall reign on the earth. Worthy
is the lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and
wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. And each
Lord's Day we get together and join in with that heavenly worship
and we get together as Jesus's seed and to worship and praise
him. And that seed is going to keep
growing and growing and growing through time until it grows into
a great multitude from every tribe and every nation. So Jesus' death accomplished,
for that purpose, was that he would see his seed. But secondly,
not only was there a seed, but also a resurrection. Verse 10
says, he shall prolong his days. In this passage, it's very clear
that Jesus would die. Isaiah said that. In verse nine,
he said, they made his grave with the wicked and with the
rich at his death. And Jesus died when he was only
about 33 and without having any physical descendants. And that
was a young age. And yet this passage says he
would prolong his days. And how could that be? Well,
it can be because he did not remain dead. He rose triumphantly
from the dead, and he lives to never die again. Revelation 118,
he says, I am he who lives and was dead, and behold, I am alive
forevermore, and I have the keys of Hades and of death. And Jesus'
resurrection is the guarantee that all of those who believe
in Jesus one day will be raised from death to life. Thirdly, there's a rain. Verse 10 says that the pleasure
of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. After the resurrection,
Jesus ascended to the right hand of God in heaven, and he is now
reigning there, carrying out the Lord's will, the Lord's pleasure,
that the Lord's purpose and his pleasure is prospering in his
hand. That purpose is described in the Great Commission where
you're told that to go and make disciples of all nations, but
that is possible because God's purpose is to bring the nations
to know him. and that purpose is going to
succeed. Isaiah 42 says, he will not fail
nor be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth,
and the coastlands shall wait for his law. Psalm 22, 27, and
28 says, all the ends of the world shall remember and turn
to the Lord, and all the families of the nation shall worship before
you, for the kingdom is the Lord's, and he rules over the nations.
1 Corinthians 15 says of Jesus that he must reign until he has
put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed
is death. So what did Jesus' death accomplish
and what difference does it make? It makes all the difference in
the world. Jesus has a numerous seed of
people that he has redeemed by his death on the cross. He has
also risen from the dead and all of those who believe in him
will rise eventually at the end, physically as well. And he is also reigning. There is his reign where he is
carrying out the Lord's will and that will succeed. and he empowers us as his seed
to carry out his commission to make disciples of the nations.
And now, at this table, he offers life and communion to us as his
seed. But if you are not trusting in
Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then don't come to this table
lest you eat and drink judgment. But if you are trusting in him
as your Lord and your Savior, if you are his seed, if you are
submitting to his reign and trusting in his resurrection, then come
to this table in faith. Let's pray. Our Lord Jesus, we
thank you for enduring the shame and the curse of the cross because
of the joy that was set before you. We thank you that your death
is not in vain, but that it has accomplished, made all the difference
in the world. We thank you that you will see
your seed, and we thank you for redeeming us. We thank you that
we get to be part of that great multitude from every tribe and
nation that praises you. And we thank you that you have
prolonged your days. We thank you that you have risen
from the dead victorious. And that we who believe in you,
though we die, will live. We thank you for your reign,
that the pleasure of the Lord is prospering in your hand, that
your kingdom is spreading through the earth, and that of the increase
of your kingdom and of peace, there will be no end. Help us
to come to your table, believing in you and trusting in you. In
your name we pray, amen.
