One can hardly imagine how someone could  see the fulfillment of these ancient cries of the Psalmist in the suffering of  Christ and not be awed and amazed! More than this, it is the incarnate Son of  God pictured here&#8230;.a bleeding God&#8230;What wondrous love is this Oh my soul? How can  words describe the profound nature of these events? Ineffable! Let us see here  how both Old and New Testaments come together as a unified whole to point us to  Christ!<\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none\"><b  style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Stricken, Smitten and  Afflicted<o:p><\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n<p  style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none\"><span style=\"COLOR: black\">In Isaiah chapter 53 we have a  <\/span>Messianic Prophecy which is unmatched for its clarity and detail about  the suffering of Christ the Messiah. As the Ethiopian Eunuch was riding along  and speaking to Phillip, reading from Isaiah 53, Phillip explained to him that  he was reading about Jesus the Christ (Acts 8:26-39). <span  style=\"COLOR: black\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><span  style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black\">Acts 8:32-35<\/span><\/b><span  style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black\"> &#8211; 32<b  style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"> <\/b>Now the passage of Scripture which he  was reading was this: &#8220;<span style=\"FONT-VARIANT: small-caps\">He was led as a  sheep to slaughter<\/span>; <span style=\"FONT-VARIANT: small-caps\">And as a lamb  before its shearer is silent<\/span>, <span style=\"FONT-VARIANT: small-caps\">So  He does not open His mouth<\/span>. 33<b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">  <\/b>&#8220;<span style=\"FONT-VARIANT: small-caps\">In humiliation His judgment was  taken away<\/span>; <span style=\"FONT-VARIANT: small-caps\">Who shall relate His  generation<\/span>? <span style=\"FONT-VARIANT: small-caps\">For His life is  removed from the earth.<\/span>&#8221; 34<b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">  <\/b>And the eunuch answered Philip and said, &#8220;Please <i  style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">tell me<\/i>, of whom does the prophet say  this? Of himself, or of someone else?&#8221; 35<b  style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"> <\/b>And Philip opened his mouth, and <b  style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><span  style=\"BACKGROUND: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow\">beginning from this Scripture  he preached Jesus to him<\/span><\/b>.
