Isaiah 50

There can be little doubt that the attacks Isaiah endured, as described in 50:6-7, were to be repeated in the passion of the Christ. And just as Isaiah noted his confidence in God redemptive strength, the end of 7 and beginning of 8, so we know that Jesus was not "put to shame." Rome tried to shame Jesus, but God honored him. The Jewish leaders sought to erase his name but one of the council members buried him like royalty. In the same way the humiliating accusation will become stepping stones to honor God in his due time.
