       So, many of us—since his resurrection—have been made righteous before God, declared righteous, since he died for our sins and provided an acceptable payment before God the Father. The final part of our text states, “Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12, ESV). In concluding our study of this text, we understand that God exalts Christ to be high and lifted up—and we know he will give him the position as King over Israel. And not only this, but we as believers will receive spoil, that is, good things with him from God. For those of us who are faithful, and even those of us who escape as though through fire, much will be given us. The obedient will be rewarded with great things. Our gifts from God at the end of our lives can be much, as we seek to please him in this life. He will give us the desires of our hearts.
