The PRIDE involved

He humbled Himself (means to make low and is something done voluntarily)

This involved two types of humiliation:
Physical and Personal

Isaiah 50:6

Matthew 27:26

Matthew 27:28-30

The PUNISHMENT involved

He became obedient to the point of death

Isaiah 52:24 - The prediction of Isaiah

The REACTION of the CROWD

Just as many were astonished at you

The REALITY of the CHRIST

You could not tell WHO it was = So his appearance was marred more than any man

You could not tell WHAT it was = His form was marred more than the sons of men
The PAIN involved

Even death on a cross

Isaiah 53:5 = But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities

Strongest two words to describe a painful death

The PURPOSE involved

Isaiah 53:6 = All of us like sheep have gone astray. Each one of us has turned to his own way. But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him

2 Corinthians 5:21 – God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of Christ in Him
