The Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself.
Daniel 9:26
"Blessed be His name, there was no cause of death in Him. Neither original nor actual sin had defiled Him, and therefore death had no claim upon Him.
But lo, one sins and another suffers. Justice was offended by us, but found its satisfaction in Him.
Rivers of tears,
mountains of offerings,
seas of the blood of bullocks,
and hills of frankincense,
could not have availed for the removal of sin;
but Jesus was cut off for us, .... Herein is wisdom, whereby substitution, the sure and speedy way of atonement, was devised!
Did the Lord Jesus stand as our representative?
Are we healed by His stripes? It will be a terrible thing indeed if we should come short of a portion in His sacrifice; it were better for us that we had never been born."
Charles Spurgeon
