open2itall Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 the book of the prophet Isaiah talks about a saviour. Jesus could see His own story in the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53 and wanted to draw His disciples attention to this particular chapter so that they might in time come to fully understand. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened His mouth not. He was lead as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before His Shearer Quote

WALT39 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 Q3. Why did Jesus purposely point his disciples to the phrasing found in Isaiah 53? How does this chapter help explain the meaning of Jesus' death? Isaiah 53:11-12 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Jesus wanted all to know that He came to serve all people and that He bore the sin of all people, not just a few. The Isaiah passage tells of the Suffering Servant and by relating that passage, all should understand the reason for His death and His voluntary sacifice. Quote
PASTOR D Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 So that they would better understand the reason for His death. It refers to the pain / agony that sin produces and that we (humans) are not able to atone for our sins. . . Sin has to be atoned for otherwise we would have to suffer its penalty - thus we needed a sacrifice. . . Jesus "WILLINGLY" gave up His life to atone for our sins and bring us back into a right relationship with God Father - God Son - God Spirit. . . Quote
Marloes Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 Jesus wasn't just somebody. What happened to Him was already predicted by the prophets. He did this from His own free will. Quote

Foofee's Nana Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Why did Jesus purposely point his disciples to the phrasing found in Isaiah 53? How does this chapter help explain the meaning of Jesus' death? The verses from Isaiah 53 were the very words that the disciples had grown up with, they studied these in the temple and Jesus used them to show them He was indeed the fulfillment of the Old Testament. In Isaish it was prophecied He would give His life for many....Jesus said it again...not for a few but for MANY....He was here to make that final atonement as the Lamb of God. He suffered in the flesh and the spirit... He came to justify many He bore our sins (iniquities) He poured out His life unto death He was crucified with sinners, even thought He was not He bore the sins for all mankind He made intercession with the Father for us Quote

jacquie7 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Posted July 26, 2013 He wanted to remind them of the passage on the suffering servant so they would gain an understanding of why He came and had to die. This chapter explains that Jesus died as a servant who suffered for the righteousness of many beyond the remnant of Israel. Quote
tgandy Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 The disciples would have been familiar with the word of Isaiah 53. I believe that is why Jesus pointed at this particular scripture. They were comfortable words, meaning that they were the words they prayed since childhood. These verses are a prophecy. Isaiah was saying He would give Himself up for the sins of all and made intercession to God on our behalf. Quote
JoanG Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 The diciples were very familiar to the Old Testament prophets and Isaiah is one of those whose teachings they would have heard the most. This chapter is one that explains how a person who is blameless will suffer and die for the sinful. It explains how He will give the spoils or salvation to those that are strong. I find that this means that those who are willing to die for their beliefs in the Messiah. Quote
