This chapter foretells the coming of Christ and his suffering. The description of Jesus is interesting to me. I guess the image of him in my mind is one of overwhelming beauty. Yet, Isaiah describes him as one with no beauty or majesty. (vs. 2) nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
It goes on to say he will be rejected by many and become very familiar with suffering. It continues to describe the burden that Jesus took on. Our sins wounded him.....and his life was a guilt offering.
Isaiah 53 .....powerful stuff!
