Commentary of Charles Spurgeon, Adam Clarke & Matthew Henry
he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul
an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Vs.10
The scripture nowhere says that Christ is his sufferings underwent the wrath of
God; but it says here,
(1.) That the Lord bruised him, not only permitted men to
bruise him, but awakened his own sword against him, Zec. 13:7. They esteemed him
smitten of God for some very great sin of his own (v. 4); now it was true that
he was smitten of God, but it was for our sin; the Lord bruised him, for he did
not spare him, but delivered him up for us all, Rom. 8:32
(2.) That he bruised him so as to put him to grief. Christ received the impressions of grief
from his Father's delivering him up; and he was troubled to such a degree that
it put him into an agony, and he began to be amazed and very heavy.
(3.) It
pleased the Lord to do this. He determined to do it; it was the result of an
eternal counsel; and he delighted in it, as it was an effectual method for the
salvation of man .
He subjected himself to that which to us is the wages of sin.
