Isa. 9:6; Luke
2:9-12; 1 Cor. 15:3; Gal. 3:13; Rom 10:4; Dan. 9:24.
He is set forth before us as bearing our sins for us, and suffering
God's wrath for us.
He is set forth before us as fulfilling the law for us, and as
bringing everlasting righteousness to us for our covering.
Again, as to the manner of his working out the salvation of sinners
for them, that they might have peace and joy, and heaven and glory
for ever:
He is set forth as sweating blood while he was in his agony,
wrestling with the thoughts of death, while he was to suffer for our
sins, that he might save the soul. Luke 22:24.
He is set forth as crying, weeping, and mourning under the lashes of
justice that he put himself under, and was willing to bear for our
sins.
He is set forth as betrayed, apprehended, condemned, spit on,
scourged, buffeted, mocked, crowned with thorns, crucified, pierced
with nails and a spear, to save the soul from being betrayed by the
devil and sin; to save it from being apprehended by justice and
condemned by the law; to save it from being spit on in a way of
contempt by holiness; to save it from being scourged with guilt of
sins as with scorpions; to save it from being continually buffeted
by its own conscience; to save it from being mocked at by God; to
save it from being crowned with ignominy and shame for ever; to save
it from dying the second death; to save it from wounds and grief for
ever.
