This verse lends references to the major points in Isaiah 53.

The allusions to Isaiah 53 are:

Its referenced to Christ as bearing our sins - substitutionary atonement ("...suffered for sins...")

God having vindicated and raised him from the dead ("...being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:").

Q5. Which single New Testament passage best sums up for you the lessons of Isaiah 53? Why did you chose this passage? (Select from Matt. 26:38-42; Luke 22:37; John 1:29; Romans 3:24-26; 2 Cor 5:20-21; 1 Peter 2:24-25; 1 Peter 3:18; Philippians 2:5-11 -- or any other passage you can think of.)

Luke 22:37 best sums up this lesson for me. "It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors' and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."

Jesus directs us to the prophetic scriptures (not just Isa. 53:12), but all other scriptures that apply to the Messiah.

I would have to say Luke 22:37. Jesus had already told the disciples what was to come yet they didn't understand. Here Jesus make it quite clear that He has to fulfill the scriptures.

Luk 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. (KJV)

Phil 2:5-11 Discribes in such a poignant way the contrast of Jesus being in very nature God, humbled himself took on the form of a man and then went to the cross in full obediende to His father. These verses are so awe inspiring! Jesus who was with God in the beginning - left His gory and majesty and is born as a man - and in obedience He suffers and goes to the cross - resolute - so we can be reconciled to God. And our attitude the writer says should be that of Christ Jesus who being in very nature God... humbled himself.... I always go back to these verses because they make me stop and think and 'ponder' and I stand in awe...

1 Peter3:18. Christ Died for sins once and for all,The rightous and the unrighteous. he was put to death in the body, and made alive by the spirit.
Jesus Died for all of us. He died for me, he had to endure all that pain the jeering, the humiliation, so that my sins would be forgiven. so that I could live, and have eternal life. Oh what a sacrifice.

I like both the I Peter 2:24-25 and Philippian 2:5-11 passages. In both passages it is very clear that Jesus Christ, THE Messiah, took on the role of sacrifice for all mankind. It wasn't some deluded person who was crucified because He was causing revolution against the Romans, or trying to set up an earthly kingdom. He KNEW what was to come (still does, for that matter!) and CHOSE to continue down that path to the cross. He could have stopped any and all of it at any time, but He loves us so much that He did not. What greater love is there than this?

Q5. Which single New Testament passage best sums up for you the lessons of Isaiah 53? Why did you chose this passage?

It is difficult for me to choose one passage, but, as I read Philippians 2, I see how important obedience is to God, obedience is "faith in action." I am thankful to Yeshua, for being that obedient servant unto God, for me.

My tongue does confess that Yeshua is Lord, to the glory of God. It is because of this, that I must never take lightly God’s gift, and that I must work out my own salvation.

It is with great repentance of my heart that I break off from living a life of sin, that I choose to go through the narrow gate, that I take up my cross and follow Christ, that I put on the full armor of God; For I am working out my salvation, why? I am a servant of God Almighty, thanks to the Son.

Philippians 2:5-12 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. that was in Jesus: he was ever humble, loving, patient, and laborious; his meat and drink was to do the will of his Father, and to finish his work.

So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

my best passage is from 1peter"
the savior agony was not brought on by his own sins,for he had done.it was for our sins he was nailed to the cross.because he has suffered for our sins once for all,we should neber allow ourselfs to get into the postions where we have to suffer for them.the fact that he died for them should cause us to die to them.and yet,it is not simply a matter of negative goodness:we should not only die to sin but live to righteousness.

that my passage i like cause it reminds me that i have a god who loves me and he sent his only son to die for our sins,that is alot of meaning to me.
