1-6節--憂傷之子

以賽亞書 第53章

聖經中的預言能夠如實地應驗，是證明聖經確是神話語的其中一個證據。舊約有許多關乎耶穌基督降生和受死的預言；我們今天所讀到的經文，正是關乎基督的受死。

我們可能會發現這個預言十分奇怪。倘若先知是按照自己的意思來描述將要來臨的彌賽亞，他一定會把祂描述為一個滿有能力和榮耀、處處吸引人的偉大人物。

然而，這卻非舊約對祂的寫照。這裡甚至稱祂是「憂傷之子」，可見祂在世上的時候，經歷了如何的屈辱和孤單。

其次，留意經文預言祂會受人厭棄和藐視。聖經之中，約翰福音一章11節是最令人感到痛心的一節經文，它這樣說：「他到自己的地方來，自己的人倒不接待他。」以賽亞說：「他好像被人掩面不看一樣」。試問還有甚麼，比我們碰見一個朋友，他卻別過臉去，故意不看我們更令人難受呢？

第三，祂受這一切苦楚，絕不是咎由自取，反之，卻完全是為了拯救我們。請看第4和5節：祂完全是為了承擔我們罪惡和痛苦而忍受苦楚。「過犯」和「罪孽」是指到我們的行為違背了神的律法，和故意扭曲神的心意來迎合自己的意思。一個犯罪的人，當然是沒有平安，可是，他的內心卻渴求得到平安。

神知道我們根本不能夠為自己贖罪，因此，祂差遣祂那完全無罪的兒子進入世界，來為我們成就了救贖計劃。

祂卻要為此而捨掉生命。從來沒有人像祂受過如此的痛苦，也沒有人像祂經歷如此的憂傷。然而，祂受的苦卻是非常有價值，因為它產生了前所未有的深遠影響。

讓我們為到父神給我們所預備的救恩，以及神的兒子甘願為我們承受了巨大的痛苦和捨命犧牲，再次獻上深深的感恩。

THE MAN OF SORROWS
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 53:1-6

One of the greatest proofs that the Bible is the Word of God is fulfilled prophecy. Many prophecies in the Old Testament concern the coming of Jesus Christ, including his birth and his death. Here of course, we are dealing with his death.

Notice first of all the strangeness of this prophecy. If man on his own had been writing the Bible, he would have certainly portrayed the coming Messiah as a great attractive personality who would come with a great show of power and splendour.

But that is not how the Old Testament pictures him. One of the names given to him here is man of sorrows. While he was on earth he knew so much of humiliation and loneliness.

Secondly, notice the rejection that was prophesied. One of the saddest verses in the Bible is John 1:11 - He came unto his own and his own received him not. Isaiah says we hid ... our faces from him. Literally it means we turned our faces away when we met him. Is there anything harder to bear than to have those who should be our friends turn away from us when we meet them?

Thirdly all his sufferings were for us and not himself. Look at verses 4 and 5. It was just as the hymn says He took our sins and our sorrows and made them his very own. Transgressions are those occasions when we break Gods laws. Iniquities are our attempts to twist Gods will to fit our own. Peace is what we did not have, yet we badly needed.

We could not atone for these things by ourselves. God knew that and he sent his own perfect sinless son into this world to accomplish it for us. But it costs him his life. No-one has ever suffered as Christ did. No sorrow has ever been so deep. No sorrows were ever so undeserved. Yet no sorrow has had such tremendous results.

Why not thank God the Father again today for the way he planned our salvation. Thank the Son of God for all his suffering and death on your behalf and mine?
