“J. C. R.,” Bradford. We do not exactly see how Isaiah 53:10-11, or John 12:31, can be applied to the conversion of the world by the preaching of the gospel. The former simply teaches that “many” should be justified through the knowledge of Christ as bruised for their iniquities. The latter teaches us that Christ, as lifted up on the cross, should draw all unto Him; in other words, that the Christ who was dead should be the only center or gathering point for His people. In neither passage is there a word about the conversion of the world.
