       Continuing on, the passage states of Jesus, “when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities” (Isaiah 53:10, 11, ESV). All of us alive today who are Christians, and those in the past after Jesus’ resurrection who believed, are the offspring of Jesus. We have been raised with Christ, in the same way he was raised. We are his heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. Jesus was the first-born from the dead, the One who paved the way for all us to have life after we die. And, of course, we know that Christ will establish his kingdom here on the earth in the near future, which is for the Jewish people—those who have believed in him and for many who will believe in him. And Jesus, by all the he has accomplished on the cross, is satisfied at what yet is to come.
