The Servant of the Most High God Unveiled-The Lord Jesus Christ

by Nnamdi A. Internet Marketer
Isaiah 53
1
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2
Jesus Christ grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3
Jesus Christ was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7
Jesus Christ was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8
By oppression [1] and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [2]
9
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush Jesus Christ and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes [3] his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
11
After the suffering of his soul, Jesus Christ will see the light [of life] [4] and be satisfied [5] ; by his knowledge [6] my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
12
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, [7] and he will divide the spoils with the strong, [8] because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For Jesus Christ bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
  1. [8] Or From arrest
  2. [8] Or away. Yet who of his generation considered that he was cut off from the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the blow was due?
  3. [10] Hebrew though you make
  4. [11] Dead Sea Scrolls (see also Septuagint); Masoretic Text does not have the light [of life].
  5. [11] Or (with Masoretic Text) [11] He will see the result of the suffering of his soul and be satisfied
  6. [11] Or by knowledge of him
  7. [12] Or many
  8. [12] Or numerous

I have lived over 75 years on planet earth. I have a clear understanding of religious mind pollution and institutionally supported irrationality in this world along with all the stupidity in peoples heads who have no clue - what so ever - about the limits to reality and the true power of nature!

Thank you for your further comment @ Franto Hruz.

As I earlier said, you will know soon enough "What is all this irrational religious crap doing here?"

Meanwhile, congratulations on having lived over 75 years on planet earth. I will not comment if you write again as you are head and shoulders ahead of me on this earth.

While I may not agree with you, I respect your age and your personal opinion. Thanks for letting me know your age.

You are a good guy, I can tell - but your view of reality doesn't give mother nature enough credit of what she is and does now, and since this universe started from natural sources - no gods of any kind were ever required! :)
