He was numbered with the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12

I read this devotional this morning. It's my Charles Spurgeon. It's really good!

Why did Jesus permit Himself to be included with sinners? This wonderful condescension was justified by many powerful reasons. In such a character he could better become their Advocate. In some trials there is an identification of the counselor with the client. They cannot be looked upon in the eyes of the law as separate from one another. Now, when the sinner is brought to the bar, Jesus appears there himself. He stands to answer the accusation. He points to His side, His hands, His feet, and He challenges Justice to bring anything against the sinners whom He represents. He pleased His blood, and pleads so triumphantly, being numbered with them and having a part with them, that the Judge proclaims, "Let them go their way. 'Deliver [them] from going down to the pit: [He has] found a ransom' (Job 33:24)." Our Lord Jesus was numbered with the transgressors in order that they might feel their hearts drawn toward Him. Who can be afraid of one who is written in the same list with us? Surely we may come boldly to Him and confess our guilt. He who is numbered with us cannot condemn us. Was He not put down in the transgressor's list that we might be written in the red roll of the saints? He was holy, and written among the holy; we were guilty, and numbered among the guilty. He transferred His name from the holy list to this black indictment, and our names were taken from the indictment and written in the roll of acceptance, for there is a complete transfer made between Jesus and His people. All our estate of misery and sin Jesus has taken, and all that Jesus has comes to us. His righteousness, His blood, and everything that He has He gives to us as our dowry. Rejoice, believer, in your union to Him who was numbered among the transgressors. Prove that you are truly saved by being manifestly numbered with those who are "new creature[s]" (2 Cor. 5:17) in Him.
