He 'was 'wounded for our tranfgreflions; be was bruifed for our iniquities. The cbajlifement of our peace was upon him; and with bisjlripes we are healed. AMONG the feveral prophecies of Ifaiah, which reprefent the miffion and character of Chrift, a more particular confideration is due to that portion of which my text is a part; as it not only gives an hiftorical defcription of our Saviour's fufferings, but alfb unfolds that great myftery of godlinefs, the expedience of thofe fufferings for the peace and happinefs of men. This prophecy is diftinguifhed in the writings of Ifaiah, as it ftands independent of all temporal and national themes. Neverthelefs, to underftand it with more advantage, it may be of ufe to take a brief review of that feries of prophecy which goes before it, as far as it bears a more exprefs relation to the gofpel economy. In the latter divifion of his facred book the Prophet appearspears in his moft engaging character, as a Herald of bleffings to the people of God. The bleffings, that he foretels, combine both a temporal and a Spiritual good. While in the letter he reprefents the deliverance of the Jews from the oppreffive yoke of their Babylonian Conquerors, and the reftoration of the Hebrew government and law, in the fpi- rit he conveys to theunderstanding of the fmcere believer a far more important and valuable truth, the deliverance of all mankind from the bondage of fin and death, and the eftablifhment of the Kingdom of God, both militant on earth and triumphant in heaven. In the name of God he publifhes confola- tion to his Books History~~General Sermons-On-The-Mission-And-Character-Of-Christ-And-On-The-Beatitudes-At-The-Lecture-Founded-By-The-Late-John-Bampton~~John-Farrer General Books LLC<
