Isaiah 53:11,12 - He bore the sins of many

53:11
“He will see the light of life and be satisfied”. In John 19:30 Jesus declared “It is finished” and gave up His spirit. His suffering was over, and He knew that the work of atonement was successful and was complete, so He was satisfied. Later He would raised from the dead, he would see the light of life. He would justify many, everyone who repents and believes is justified by Christ’s death on the cross, for He as bore our iniquities.

53:12
Jesus was exalted to the name above all names. Eventually everything will be brought under His authority. This will happen because he poured out his life unto death. Then yet again we have the emphasis on the propitiatory nature of His death. He was numbered among the transgressors, He bore the sins of many, and He made intercession for  transgressors. Any view of the cross that ignores and outrightly rejects the sin-bearing aspect of Jesus’ death on the cross is wholly inadequate, not to say completely wrong.
