Isaiah 53:9,10 - It was the will of the Lord to crush Him

53:9

This seems paradoxical, “assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich”, yet it is what happened. Death on a cross was for the wicked, yet Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. He was without violence or deceit. Almost all wickedness, in fact probably all, involves violence or deceit, or both. 

53:10

It was the Lord’s will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer. The Jewish religious leaders and Roman authorities (indeed all of us) were responsible for His death, yet it was also the Lord’s will. This was not “cosmic child abuse”, it was the plan of salvation, the means of atoning for our sins. His life was a sin offering. Then we get a prophecy of the resurrection. The suffering, the death were not the end. He would see His offspring, which is all of us who believe. And the will of God would prosper through Christ. Humanly the cross looks like a disaster, but it was really the road to the greatest triumph in history.
