Mary Beth Whittam Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 The servant of Isaiah 53, take all are sins and attaches them to Himself. He is taking the shame, pain & seperation from God that we should be going through to buy us back. He has plotted out our sins so we can be connected to God.

linda bass Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Our sins were taken into Jesus' body on the cross. He became the substitute for us. Everyone of us should have died for our sins but Jesus voluntarily took our punishment for us. Jesus took the sins we should of paid for ourselves by spilling His blood instead of ours.

debs4jc Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Isaiah 53 teaches what theologians call "the substitutionary atonement." In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words Because I have sinned, I am under a penalty of death (Rom. 6:23). God because of His love and mercy sent Jesus, the perfect sacrificial lamb, to die in my place and act as my substitute. My sins were taken way and transferred to Him, He bore the burden and I no longer have to pay the penalty. Plus I no longer am weighted down by the burden of sin. Sin drags us down with it's guilt and with the frustration of not being able to do what it right. Praise God that we no longer have to suffer under this burden but have freedom from sin through Christ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Phillips-Gay Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I view "the substitutionary atonement" because he put himself in the place that we should have been in but because he loved us so much he was willing to take our place so that we wouldn't have to bear that pain and suffering. He took it all on. We have the easy part in that all we have to do is ask forgiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melatiah Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Isaiah 53 teaches what theologians call "the substitutionary atonement." In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words. This point really hit home with me. I'd always focused on Christ bearing the punishment of my sin...not on Him bearing my actual sin. The thought of His taking from me all my sin...past, present, future...at the cross -- amazing. Like everyone else, I have "besetting sins" which I can't seem to completely overcome. I experience victory for awhile over them, then fall back -- so frustrating -- very discouraging. I feel so guilty -- so wrong when I come to ask forgiveness for yet another occurrence of the same sin. How could God still welcome me? Will there ever be a time that I come and He won't? These verses answer those fears with peace. If Jesus bore ALL my sin at the cross, He knew just how many times I'd fall -- and He's already provided for my forgiveness for them all! Yay! He's waiting on me to come -- not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia A. Conti Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 The Servant is a spotless sacrifice - that is, he bears no sin within his person. We, on the other hand, everyone of us has sin. As in the days of sacrifice of animals God required a spotless lamb (or other animal), in order to redeem those who have sinned, God again requires a spotless sacrifice. Jesus is that spotless sacrifice. he has never known sin nor would he ever. So as he willingly took on the role as sacrifice, he offered up himself in atonement for the sins of us all. It was a perfect sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Reid Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Q3. Isaiah 53 teaches what theologians call "the substitutionary atonement." In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words. Jesus knew that we could never pay the price of our sins. "The wages of sin is death...." The Father in His love wanted to reconcile us to Himself. As a servant would do anything for his master, so too Jesus lay down His life for us. He took our actual sin, on His body with Him to calvary. His life in exchange for ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billhayes Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 In the Old Testament the idea of the Day of Atonement was that one day a year the people would place their hands upon a lamb -- then release it into the wilderness. God ordained this to show that the lamb would take the sins of the people. Really, all animal sacrafice was a form of substitutionary atonement. The animals had not sinned -- but took the place of the people who had and were making the sacracfice. (The story of Abraham, Isaac, and the ram is a great illustration of God providing the sacrafice for our sins). Isaiah alludes to Substitutionary Atonement. This is truly what happened with Christ -- Christ died -- not for His sins -- but ours. He was a substitute -- taking our place -- receivingthe punishment -- for our sins.

Liza Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 When I think of Isaiah 53, the verse that comes to mind is 'He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities'. That is what I understand as substitutionary atonement. That poignantly speaks of the punishment Jesus took upon Himself to give me life. My transgressions, my iniquities... I can never reach God's standard of holiness and no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't be good enough. Jesus loved me so much as to pay the price for me. Willingly. As I was going through the exposition, one thing that struck me forcibly was the fact that He did not protest, but took it willingly upon Himself. I 'know' this but as I meditated on it, I thought of all that He suffered for me - physically, mentally, spiritually. A great price for me. I just got another glimpse of His amazing love.

DebChats Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Isaiah 53 teaches what theologians call "the substitutionary atonement." In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words. I do not have to go to hell because 'the Servant' went there for me. I do not have to be sick because 'the Servant' took on my illnesses. I do not have to be poor because 'the Servant' was made poverty for me. I do not have to sacrifice or bear sin because 'the Servant' sacrificed and bore sin for me. I could go on and on about what 'the Servant' has done for me. I no longer have to live under the curse and I am victorious over the devil and his demons because of 'the Servant'. 'The Servant' did more than bear my sins .. 'the Servant' made me free from the law of sin and death and gave me life eternal. Thank you Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words. Jesus became me when he went to the cross.

MyBeloved Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 A substitute is one that takes the place of another. Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of GOD took my place on the cross, my sins were placed upon Him and He suffered the penalty that I deserved. His righteousness is placed in my account and when our holy GOD looks upon me He sees the righteousness of Christ. Praise GOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherdills Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 He suffered so we do not have to. He bore everything He knew we could not bear in order that all we have to do is to give it to Him and believe He will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwalya Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 The Servant-Lamb of God, acts as our subsitute by willing offering Himself to take up our sins so that we, the sinful, may receive justification. Though He commited no sin nor was there any deceit in his mouth, yet He bore our sins so that we could be declared righteous before God.

Helen Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 I am a sinner and could in no way enter the Kingdom of Heaven in my own right, or by earning the privilege. If God wanted me there, something more had to be done. It was done by Jesus, who accepted the consequences for me (vicious death), so that the righteousness of God was satisfied. As in 1Corinthians 13 - "Love never fails", a truth established before the foundation of the earth, and proven in Christ Jesus" providing my justification. Love, which is God, did not fail me although I could not help myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what sense does the Servant act as a substitute to bear our sins? Put it in your own words. Jesus took all our sins upon Himself when he died on the cross. He died and bore our sins in His own body on the cross so that we might die to sin and become his righteousness. His sacrifice on the cross has accomplished our redemption. He paid the price so we may one day enter the Kingdon of Heaven to live with Him eternally, if we choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus he took away the sin of the world by taking it on Himself. He made himself subject to death, which to us is the wages of sin. The servant is a substitute who bears our sin. Took up. Carried.

Patsy Laycoax Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 The Servant acts as our substitute to bear our sins because on the cross our sins were applied to him and he became our substitute for payment of our sins. If he had not done this we would have to pay for our own sins and that would mean we would spend an eternity in hell. Praise God we can accept his sacrifice for our sin and spend eternity with him!

PointUp Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Jesus, the one true God, acted as a substitute for me through each blow He received, each wound He endured, each bruise He took into His precious body and then the piercing of His side, all substituted my trangressions, my sickness, my iniquity, my sorrow. He was made a guilt offering for me (oh to really get this deep within my soul!) so I could see the light of day through His sacrifice.

charisbarak Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Jesus came to earth as a man--as a servant. This servant came for one purpose--to die for our sins. He did this by being a sinless man. He also agreed with His Father to have all our sins put upon Him as our substitute so we/I could have eternal life. Each one of us is represented in Jesus' death--our sins put Him on the cross. Because He died, I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masika Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 There was nothing beautiful or majestic in the physical appearance of this servant . Israel would miscalculate the servant's importance - they would consider him an ordinary man . But even though Jesus would not attract a large following based on his physical appearance , He would bring salvation and healing .Many people miscalculate the importance of Jesus' life and work , and they need faithful Christians to point out his extraordinary nature. How could an Old Testament person understand the idea of Christ dying for our sins - actually bearing the punishment that we deserved ? The sacrifices suggested this idea , but it is one thing to kill a lamb , and something quite different to think of God's chosen servant as that Lamb . But God was pulling aside the curtain of time to let the people of Isaiah's day look ahead to the suffering of the future Messiah and the resulting forgiveness made available to all people.
