it worked (Isaiah 53:10b)

Isaiah 53:10b
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.

When Jesus cancelled our guilt through his death:
  • "he shall see his offspring" - Jesus will "see" us because we are welcomed back into the family of God, no longer cut off
  • "he shall prolong his days" - Jesus is raised and will reign forever. His death did mark the end of his kingdom but the next stage in his rule
  • "the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand" - this was God's plan and it has been successful!
