How does Isaiah 53 reflect the doctrine of total depravity?

Answered in 1 source

Isaiah 53 reflects total depravity by showing that all have turned away and need a Savior to bear their sins.

Isaiah 53 illustrates the doctrine of total depravity effectively by stating, 'All we like sheep have gone astray.' This aligns with the Reformed view that apart from God's intervening grace, humanity is lost in sin. The passage illustrates that there is no inherent righteousness in humanity capable of achieving salvation. The need for a substitute, as embodied in Christ's sacrifice, emphasizes that we are all in need of redemption, which can only come from outside ourselves. The portrayal of Christ taking upon Himself the iniquities of all points to the depth of our depravity and God's grace in providing a Savior.
