Jesus was not punished for our sins; the wrath of God was not upon Him.
Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: And we hid as it were our faces from him; He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath lifted our griefs, and was burdened with our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him punished, killed of God, and dealt harshly with.
5 But he was polluted for our transgressions; He was broken, humbled, and contrite for our iniquities: The discipline of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; And the Lord had Him encounter the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, Yet he opened not his mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth.
When Jesus cried out on the cross my God, my God why have you forsaken me, he was experiencing what we experience in our fallen state. He was identified with us, because His soul was made sin, because our sins were transferred to Him.
When He died, it was really us who died because he gave up his spirit to the Father before He died physically and his body could not decay when it was laid in the grave, because it was not corrupted because his blood was pure.
The Father was right there with Him for the three hours on the cross in the dark cloud. God hides himself in a cloud because the fullness of His glory would consume our flesh.
Verse 3- He was rejected by men and not by God. Peter on the day of Pentecost told the Jews that you crucified him, it was not God who crucified Him, and He could have come off the cross at any time.
Verse 4- we were the ones who esteemed him punished by God for our sins.
The cross was a trading platform. What was wrong with us was transferred to Him, so that what was right with Him could be transferred to us. His soul was made an offering for sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God. God dealt with everything that was wrong with us on the cross, and gave us His nature in its place. The cross is the place we trade our sorrows for His joy.
You have to understand what the words in the Hebrew language and the Greek language mean and how they are used and the different meanings they have. And then have the Holy Spirit interpret it to you.
The Translators of the Bible may have been scholars but did not know God. To know a person in the bible means to have sexual intercourse with them and live with them day and night. To know God is to join your spirit with His so that it becomes one spirit.
We have to become a disciple of Jesus Christ and follow on to know the Lord. Just because you believe in God does not mean that you know Him. In reality we are still incompatible with Him, we have to be transformed and if we were transformed our body would be glorified.
God lives in eternity where there is no time. He knows the beginning of our life and the end of our life. That is why He see’s us perfect in Christ, because Christ was crucified before the earth and the universe exsisted. God has the ability to forget our sins, so that they do not exist.
When the angels came before Him and said he had to destroy Sodom and Gomorra, He said I will take a look. His eyes are to pure to look upon earth, but he can also search our heart and deal with it, but He doesn’t focus on it, He just orders our circumstances so that we might look to Him so our heart can be dealt with. But He only disciplines His male and female sons that are destined to inherit the throne with Him.
