i aBBamnmMBHnaBMBH I Creamed g)| I Comments It; On as*>®gf LeflsonffljPffi Creamod Comments on the Sun- ! day School Lesson. The Suffering I Servant, Isaiah 53:1-17. for Sunday. November 13. Here is the outstanding Old Testament prophet y of the Suffering Christ; it is beyond any thing i of which a mere man was ever cap- > able, and it can only refer to the unique Man - the GodfMan, Christ. V.l. "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" The message) in this lesson seemed almost in- 1 ! credible. V. 2. "For he shall grow up beI fore him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground, he hath no form nor comeliness, and when we see him there Is no beauty that we should desire him." The; Messiah will be a fresh sprout from the stump of a tree that lia. been felled, that is. from the fall- , en kingdom of David. The state-1 ment that in him is no beauty re- ! ’ fers to such surrounding* a* usual-' ly accompany kings. Jesus' beauty | i was his humility, not easily dis■cerned. V. 3. "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and ' acquainted with grief, and we hid las it were our faces from him; ; . he was despised and we esteemed .him not." How true that Jesus | had so many who were Indifferent to him and w-ho even rejected him. Sorrow hers means painful experiences of any kind Grief refers to ' strains upon the body and the I j mind V. 4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken.' smitten of God and afflicted ", Here is tile clear statement of the atonement; here Is indicated the vicarious sufferings of Christ Note the emphasis on "our". In this expression all mankind is in ' ( eluded. Those who witnessed Christ's suffering did not understand that he was sinless and suf ferine for others. V. 5. "But he was wounded for 'our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our iieace was upon him and with his stripes we are heal-' «d ' W<- are reconciled to God because Jesus took our place in pay ling the penalty of our transgresI sions and iniquities. V.g. "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one’ The kind of life one leads is! measured by his intention*. Hero i is a lioy who deliberately and puri posefully throws a stone through a window. Here is another who a< - L < (dentally • having no intention of doing so • also throw* a stone 1 through a widow The intentions make the difference between a' bad lioy un<l a good one They are 1 l>*< h of every word and act though they may not be discernible. In time, their result* will he seen and due Judgment will follow. It I Is at this point that God comes | in; for those who always live by! good Intentions, He takes care of I the result*. i . 7 —' It does not take great men, but i const* rated men. to do great things.

|to hl* own way; and the Ixird I hath laid on him the iniquity of u* ; all." As sheep go astray physically so men have gone astray spiritualj ly Here the natural slnfulne** of ' man is asserted. When self reigns. ; then one goes his own way; when Christ reigns, then one goes His way. Jesus is our sin-bearer. V. 17, "He was oppressed snd afflicted, yet be opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before the shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth." Here we have a picture of Jesus' trial so unjust and cruel, and yet through It all he said little; he surrendered himself to Ills captives; his defense was in his final | triumph over death and the grave. V.B. "He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall desire his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken." There was an utter disregard for justice in the trial and condemnation of 1 Christ. V. 9. "And he made hi* grave with the wicked. and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit In his mouth." Since he was jcrucified between two malefactors. hi* end was with the wicked. Since he was buried In the tomb of Joseph, a rich man. so he was with the rich In death. Note there was no sin in Christ. V.lO. "Yet it pleased the U>rd to bruise him; he hath put him to grief; when lie shall make hi* soul an offering for sin. he shall see | his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the ixird shall prosper in his hand." It pleased the Father that these sufferings should be undergone, for he saw with satisfaction the Son's self-sacrifice, and he witnessed with joy man's redemption and deliverance. V.ll. "He shall see the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied; by hi* knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities." By Christ's knowledge of God's' love and purpose and power, which he will Impart to hi* disciple*, he shall justify many. V 12. "There will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall I divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death; and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made ■ Intercession for the transgressors.' In poetic language. Christ Is portrayed as a mighty conqueror, all I because of hi* paying the price of our redemption. Clericus Says: j Clerlcu* says: "We live In, a I i which are only unlocked to uh when we po*ses* certain spiritual j realities. The greatest thing that . ever happened in human history was that the Almighty. All-knowing God who I* perfect love and righteousness, demonstrated to mankind the meaning of vicarious suffering." Book Review Higley's Sunday School Lesson j Commentary. 1950, the Higley ' Press, is a verse by verse analysis ,of the International Uniform Les- . sons. It gives the lesson setting ] and historical background, questions keyed to each verse for anj swers, central truths. seed I thoughts. topA s for discussiou. In short, the commentary is practical, well arranged, and carefully edited. as well as being definitely evangelistic.
