Abinadi Quotes Isaiah

“Even Isaiah said, ‘Who has had faith in my revelations, which faith allows the Lord to show His power—to reveal His arm on their behalf? For Jesus Christ will grow up before the Father like a tender plant, like a root coming out from dry ground. He will look like any other man, so the people will not accept Him as their Savior. He will be despised and rejected, and will become a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief. The people will turn away from Him, considering Him to be of little worth.

“ ‘Surely He will bear the grief and sorrow for our sins, but the people will think that it is God who is smiting and afflicting Him. He will be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our sins, chastised for our peace, and whipped that we might be healed.

“ ‘All of us are like sheep gone astray. Because we have gone our own way, the Lord will take all our sins upon Himself. Oppressed and afflicted, He will not speak, but will be silent, like a lamb brought to the slaughter. He will not be put into prison, nor will He receive a fair trial.

“ ‘And after He is dead, having been killed for my people’s sins, who will be called His children? He will be buried among the wicked and the rich, even though He will do no evil nor speak deceitfully to anyone. The Savior will be bruised, and will grieve. The Father will offer His Son, who will live again to see His children. For the Father will witness and be satisfied with the travail of His Son’s soul. By His knowledge, the Savior will justify many, for He will bear the sins of His people. Because the Son will pour out His soul and be killed, and will make an intercession for our sins, the Father will give Him an inheritance among the great.

“ ‘And in turn, the Son will give an inheritance to His children.’ ”
