53:1ff – Twelve Points Showing Jesus is the Servant (Explore the Book, J. Sidlow Baxter)

• He comes in utter lowliness – a root out of a dry ground
• He is despised and rejected of men
• He suffered for the sins and in the place of others – He was wounded for our transgressions
• It was God Himself who caused the suffering to be vicarious – The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
• There was an absolute resignation under the vicarious suffering – He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth
• He died as a felon – He was taken from prison and from judgment
• He was cut off prematurely – He was cut off out of the land of the living
• Yet he was personally guiltless – He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth
• He was to live on after His sufferings – He shall see His seed; He shall prolong His days.
• Jehovah’s pleasure was then to prosper in His hand – The pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in His hand
• He was to enter into mighty triumph after His suffering – He shall divide the spoil with the strong
• By all this, and by justifying many through His death and living again, He was to see the travail of His soul, and be satisfied
