"Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter..." (Isaiah 53:7)
Isaiah gives us a vivid picture of redemption some 600 years before it happened. The Suffering Servant in Isaiah 52 - 53 is given over to be slaughtered for sinful people who are at every turn disobedient to God's holy Law ... The innocent dies for the guilty.... And it's His Father's idea! ... "It was the will of the LORD to crush Him... He (the LORD) put Him to grief.. (53: 10) Out of the anguish of Jesus' soul, God saw it.... and was satisfied ...(53:11)
If God is satisfied with Jesus' payment for our sin, why can't we be?
