2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all
He was Wounded for our Transgression and Bruised for our Iniquities
Over 1.5 million men and women have been wounded serving this great country we live.
Many of those wounds were life changing events.
And it is because of these men and women, we have freedom to gather today and worship.
And thank God for the freedom we have.
I enjoy coming to church on Sundays and Wednesdays and being able to lift my hands and worship in liberty.
I like being able to come to church and fellowship with people of like precious faith.
And as great as our freedom is; nothing compares to the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus.
He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
Over 1.5 million wounded for our freedom;
But only one was wounded for the redemption of man.
Only one was righteous enough;
Only one was pure enough
Jesus Christ suffered and died for the redemption of man.
And Approximately 700 years prior to the birth of Jesus,
the prophet Isaiah spoke of this suffering:
He said; there would be one that would be despised and rejected.
One that would bare our griefs and carry our sorrows.
He would be wounded for our transgression and bruised for our iniquities.
Today; you made a decision to come to an Assembly of God Church,
In the Assemblies of God, we hold fast to 16 fundamental Truths.
And the very first fundamental truth is that
“The bible is the “divinely inspired” word of God”
it is “the revelation of “God to man”,
It’s the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and our conduct.
And the reason I am telling you this; is we need to understand,
that what is written 700 years before it ever came to be: Is not a fairy tale.
It is the authoritative word of God spoken to man.
700 years before the birth of Jesus;
God had revealed to the prophet Isaiah:
that there would be a savior that would come on the scene,
and He would be wounded for our transgression,
He would be bruised for our iniquities,
“Transgression” and “iniquities” are our sins;
From the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden; man has been separated from God.
It was a perfect relationship that was broken because of disobedience,
And the result of that disobedience is; that you and I were born into sin and in need a savior,
And the only way for that “broken relationship” to be restored was by the shedding of blood.
The words penned in , would take nearly 700 years to come to pass.
but Today I want to go back in time and share this event as it unfolds;
I want to preach on the subject:
He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions and Bruised for Our Iniquities
Two thousand years ago there we no computers, there were no cell phones,
There was no way to communicate like “we can” with modern day technology,
The medical science was not advanced like today’s medicine.
When they faced a crisis, they didn’t have a means to seek help as we do,
When we get sick we go to the doctor or to the emergency room.
But 2000 years ago it was not so.
I want you to picture in your mind;
Gabriel: an angel of the Lord appearing to a young virgin who was engaged; and telling her that she would conceive in her womb, and bring forth a son.
This little virgin girl question the angel and asked: how can this be; I know not a man.
The thoughts she must have had;
Thoughts about:
-what people were going to think of her,
-How they wouldn’t believe her or how her “husband to be” would react,
Modern day medical equipment would have been able to prove she was still a virgin;
but all Mary had was her word.
And as I am reading this and studying it out;
I wondered if perhaps; Mary had read the writings of the Prophet Isaiah from 700 years earlier
I wandered If she had read the story of Isaiah talking about a man being born for our griefs,
A man that would be born of a virgin
A man that would carry out our sorrows,
A man that would be wounded for our transgression, bruised for our iniquities.
Did Mary know that her child; would be the one that Isaiah was talking about?
700 years had passed and the prophecy had not been fulfilled,
Was this it?
Was this “virgin girl” carrying the one who would be wounded for our transgression?
Was she going to bear the one that would be bruised for our iniquities?
Now remember, we agree that the bible is the infallible word of God.
That means; everything within its context is true, it has happened or it will happen.
You might would say how can this be?
How can a man know of an event that would take place 700 years later?
I believe It’s because God desires a relationship with His people.
And Isaiah; was willing to draw near to God and listen to what God was telling him.
Isaiah never saw this event unfold;
but he drew near to God; and God drew near to Him and God revealed His to plan to Isaiah.
Gods plan for a broken relationship with His people to be restored.
I’m not quite sure if Mary understood in full what would take place.
But the child she was carrying; was a word that was spoken 700 years earlier that was coming to light.
Isaiah said; He was wounded for our transgression;
He was bruised for our iniquities;
Transgression means the violation of Gods law.
Iniquities means; sin and wickedness.
Have you ever seen such a day when men are violating the law of God.
Just in the 10 commandments alone.
I am the Lord thy God.
Thou shalt not have other gods before me.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember to keep the Sabbath Day.
Honor thy Father and thy Mother.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
