Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom was the arm of Yahweh revealed?
Isaiah 53:2 For He grew up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or splendour that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should desire Him
Isaiah 53:3 despised and rejected by men, a man of pains and knowing sickness. And as one from whom the face is hidden, being despised, and we did not consider Him.
Isaiah 53:4 Truly, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains. Yet we reckoned Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:5 But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our crookedness’s. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:6 We all, like sheep, went astray, each one of us has turned to his own way. And Yahweh has laid on Him the crookedness of us all.
Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, but He did not open His mouth.
Isaiah 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He shall be cut off from the land of the living? For the transgression of My people, He was stricken.
Isaiah 53:9 And He was appointed a grave with the wrong, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was deceit in His mouth,
Isaiah 53:10 But YHWH was pleased to crush Him, He laid sickness on Him, that when He made Himself an offering for guilt, He would see a seed, He would prolong His days and the pleasure of יהוה prosper in His hand.
Isaiah 53:11 He would see the result of the suffering of His life and be satisfied. Through His knowledge My righteous Servant makes many righteous, and He bears their crookedness’s.
Isaiah 53:12 Therefore I give Him a portion among the great, and He divides the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His being unto death, and He was counted with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
I Peter 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps,
I Peter 2:22 who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth
I Peter 2:23 who, being reviled, did not revile in return; suffering, did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
I Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His body on the timber, so that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness1 – by whose stripes you were healed.
I Peter 2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your lives.
A good example of a true, heart-felt prayer of repentance is Psalm 51. We need to come to the point, like David felt in verse 10 that we cannot grow and overcome and really change our lives to be His Bride on our own power. We must surrender to Him and the power of His Spirit to lead us down the narrow path to Eternal life and give us an understanding and clean heart and help us be committed and loyal to Him and the narrow path to eternal life
