Show the nobility of your pedigree by the magnanimity of your lives. (3.) Many, when they see their seed, their seed's seed, wish to depart in peace; but Christ will not commit the care of his family to any other, no, he shall himself live long, and of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, for he ever lives. Our text gives this a full solution, in that it says, "He shall make his soul an offering for sin." he sees your first desires, your humble breathings, your lowly hopes, your trembling approaches.

He must use his own discretion as to whether he will accept the substitute or not; and if he do so, it is an act of grace. There is no merit of thine needed; there is merit enough in Christ. In this he acteth justly, for the crime and sin of the Saviour's death must lay at the door of manhood. It may be that that will be your first response when you see the marks of the suffering that He bore for you. He was despised, and we held him as of no account. Now the black scene vanishes at the sound of a voice from heaven.

Yet all this must be made true, and innumerable other absurdities, if universal redemption be asserted. The time is come; the men with the halberts precede him through the streets. It pleased the Lord to do this. They are all discipled by being newly-created. The apparent miscarriage of justice just described (Isaiah 53:9) would not be what it would appear to be. He shall see his seed - His posterity; his descendants. (2.) The hour approacheth when old Rome shall shake upon her seven hills, when Mohammed's crescent shall wane to wax no more, when all the gods of the heathens shall lose their thrones and be cast out to the moles and the bats; and then, when from the equator to the poles Christ shall be honored, the Lord paramount of earth, when from land to land, from the river even to the ends of the earth, one King shall reign, one shout shall be raised, "Hallelujah, hallelujah, the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth." And it's a very convenient way to reference. The death-knell of the penalty rings in the dying words of the Saviour, "It is finished."

There are in the world many theories of atonement; but I can not see any atonement in any one, except in this doctrine of substitution. Isaiah 53:10New International Version.

It was a great commendation of his sufferings, and redounded very much to his honour, that in his sufferings he made intercession for the transgressors, for those that reviled and crucified him; for he prayed, Father, forgive them, thereby showing, not only that he forgave them, but that he was now doing that upon which their forgiveness, and the forgiveness of all other transgressors, were to be founded.

There is no effect of Christ's death that is left to peradventure. If he had not completed his work of penalty-suffering, he would have been left in the tomb till now; our preaching would have been in vain, and your faith would have been in vain; ye would have been yet in your sins.
