Bible Description Of The Suffering Messiah:
Psalm 22:1-19 KJV
1 My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me? why art thou so far from helping Me, and from the words of My roaring?2 O My God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that He would deliver Him: let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him.
9 But thou art He that took Me out of the womb: thou didst make Me hope when I was upon My mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art My God from My mother's belly.
11 Be not far from Me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed Me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset Me round.
13 They gaped upon Me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all My bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue cleaveth to My jaws; and thou hast brought Me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed Me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed Me: they pierced My hands and My feet.
17 I may tell all My bones: they look and stare upon Me.
18 They part My garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture.
19 But be not thou far from Me, O LORD: O My Strength, haste thee to help Me.
Isaiah 50:6 KJV
I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting.
Isaiah 52:14 KJV
As many were astonished at thee; His visage was so marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men:
Personal Description Of Christ:
In the time of Christ, there was a Roman governor of Judea (B.C. 63-14 A.D.), named Publius Lentulus. He wrote a letter to Tiberius Caesar, describing the man Jesus Christ.
“There was a man appeared here who is still living, named Jesus Christ, whose power is extraordinary. He has a title given to Him of the Great Prophet: His disciples call Him the Son of God. He raised the dead and heals all sorts of diseases. He is a tall, well-proportioned man; there is an air of serenity in His countenance which attracts at once the love and reverence of those who see Him. His hair is of the colour of new wine; from the roots to His ears and from thence to the shoulders it is curled and falls down to the lowest part of them; upon the forehead it parts in two after the manner of the Nazarenes. His forehead is flat and fair, His face without any defect, and adorned with a very graceful vermilion (red/scarlet); His air is majestic and agreeable; His nose and mouth are very well proportioned, and His beard is thick and forked, of the colour of His hair; His eyes are grey and extremely lively; in His reproofs He is terrible, but in His exhortations and instructions amiable and courteous. There is something wonderfully charming in His face, with a mixture of gravity, He is never seen to laugh, but He has been observed to weep . He is very straight in stature; His hands are large and spreading; His arms very beautiful. He talks little but with great gravity, and is the handsomest man in the world.”

Do you know the Messiah, the Saviour of the world?
Isaiah 53:1-12 KJV
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the Arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a Tender Plant, and as a Root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
4 Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken.
9 And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My Righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
II Corinthians 5:21 KJV
For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
I Peter 3:18 KJV
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
John 3:14-18 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only Begotten Son of God.
