(Continued-December 1945)

Because of the supreme sacrifice that the Messiah makes in behalf of the salvation of all believers, God apportions His part among the great--as we see in 53:12. He is given the place of preeminence, "... because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors." In His dying, He bore the sin of many, and, as He did so, He "made intercession for the transgressors." This specific prophecy was fulfilled in the cry of our Lord Jesus Christ when He said to the Father, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

Everyone who is unprejudiced and unbiased can see in this marvelous passage in Isaiah a clear, definite picture of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ.

My friend, if you have never accepted His atonement, do so today. You have no promise of tomorrow. In Christ there is salvation and in Him alone.
