Volume 5 7th Trailhead – 1st Trail

The seventh trailhead of Isaiah 53:4 makes reference to the Promised Messiah bringing healing.  It leads to the trail of Matthew 8:17, which is set in the context of Jesus of Nazareth healing physical ailments as recorded in Matthew 8:1-17.

When we compare Isaiah 53:4 and Matthew 8:17, we see how the New Testament interprets the Old; another instance of the Bible interpreting the Bible.

Griefs is interpreted as infirmities while sorrows, diseases.  Therefore, the beloved Son of God in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth was stricken by God to heal us of physical ailments.  By so doing, He brings rest to the soul. This is further substantiated by 1 Peter 2:24.

            As such, these New Testament scriptures verified that the beloved Son of God in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth had fulfilled the Isaiah 53:4 Messianic credential.
