Introduction
Share story of Pastor who committed suicide?
I was reminded this week of how human and vulnerable I am.
The reminder came in the form of an article about a pastor in Chino who committed suicide.
I read the article with tears streaming down my face because but for the grace of God, that could be me!
I think a big part of the problem is that often pastor’s are placed on pedestals and they fear falling off.
I want to go on record with all of you, I am just another believer.
I have a different spiritual gift that God is using in a more public setting.
But I still struggle with sin, with guilt, and pride.
Beloved I covet your prayers.
Please pray for me.
For personal purity and integrity and steadfastness in the faith.
Please pray for my family for their health and growth and faithfulness to Jesus.
I promise that I will be praying for you.
The second thing that reading this article did was remind me of our desperate need for the gospel.
Each and every one of us needs Jesus every moment!
And so this morning we will be reminded of what Jesus did.
Communion reminds us that the eternal Son of God underwent a horrific death so that we could have life!
It is my prayer that this reminder would bring us joy in our salvation and strength to do battle in the Christian life.
PRAY
says (S).
What does it mean for Christ to be the propitiation for the sins of the world?
The oxford dictionary defines propitiate as to
win or regain the favour of; appease.
The Mood Handbook of Theology states that
Propitiation means that the death of Christ fully satisfied all the righteous demands of God toward the sinner.
Because God is holy and righteous He cannot overlook sin; through the work of Jesus Christ God is fully satisfied that His righteous standard has been met.
Through union with Christ the believer can now be accepted by God and be spared from the wrath of God.
Let me illustrate what this means.
ILLUSTRATION: A cup of grape juice symbolizing God’s wrath.
This cup has to be drunk.
Each of us has one.
But it is full of a deadly poison.
When you drink it, you die.
That is what sin has earned us.
We have no escape and no hope.
Then Jesus comes along.
He drinks this cup of wrath!
The poison that would kill us He takes upon Himself.
He dies in our place.
When Jesus drinks the cup of God’s wrath, that’s it.
It’s done.
Those who believe in His sacrifice are saved, have eternal life, and spend eternity in perfect fellowship with God.
Jesus satisfied the wrath of a holy God.

As we finish this powerful section of Scripture, we will learn how
God’s suffering servant satisfied the Father’s wrath.
The satisfaction of God’s wrath enables believers to have a right relationship with Him.
53:11 – Afflicted
The reality that God’s wrath at sin has been satisfied ought to empower us to live in freedom from sin and in joy etc?
A right relationship brings joy and strength to live for Christ.
53:12 – Exalted
We learn about how God’s wrath was satisfied as we see that…
1.
The Servant Shall Be Offered v. 10
This word “pleased” means exactly what it sounds like.
God the Father took delight in the bruising of His Son.
Not because He takes pleasure from pain.
We will see the cause of His delight in a moment.
Bruised is the same idea as in v. 5 when it states that He was bruised for our iniquities.
It pleased the Father to crush the Son.
And to put Him to grief.
Grief – חלה (ḥalah) to grow weak, tired; to fall sick, be ill; to feel pain.
To afflict, to cause physical pain, suffering, or illness.
Grief – חלה (ḥlh)
Soul = life.
Christ was afflicted and suffered as He laid down His life to be the ultimate offering for sin.
This is a particular type of offering.
It is a guilt offering made for atonement.
Christ atoned, He paid for, sin.
Period.
This is the cause of God's delight.
Not in the suffering and death of His Son, but in what that suffering and death accomplished.
Christ paid for sin!
And He will be blessed.
In the time in which Isaiah wrote these words, seeing your descendants and living a long life were the two most definitive signs of God’s blessing.
Christ’s descendants are all who believe in Him.
As eternal God, His days are prolonged.
One commentator makes the point that you have to be alive to see your descendants.
This emphasizes that though the servant will be killed, He will be raised as well.
This emphasizes that though the servant will be killed, He will be raised as well.
In this one verse you have Christ dying for sin and rising from the dead!
The final line of the verses communicates that what pleases God will succeed in the hands of His suffering servant.
The death and resurrection of the Messiah will accomplish God’s will!
