His Merited Satisfaction

v. 31 "of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. "

The joy of the:-

(a) Sufferer who's sufferings are past

(b) Sower who's reaping at last

(c) Shepherd who's calling his sheep

(d) Soverign who's minding his keep

2. The Justification of the Sinner - v. 11 "By His knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."

2 Corinthians 5 v. 21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

1 John 3 v. 5 "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin."

Note:-

(a) The Difference - Man is sinful but Christ is sinless

(b) The Dilemna - Job 25 v. 4 & 5 "How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight."

(c) The Defence - "by his knowledge"

Ephesians 1 v. 6 "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ the solid rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand

All other ground is sinking sand.

3. The Vindication of the Soverign - Romans 3 v. 25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
