The Servant’s Death

Isaiah 53:7-9

About the Sermon

He wasn’t what they expected, so they rejected him. Rejection gave rise to undiluted hatred. They spit on him, stripped him, and struck him. People screamed at him. Priests lied about him. Politicians washed their hands of him. They numbered him among the transgressors and made his grave with the wicked. Why did he endure this injustice? Why so great an injustice? Because the injustice of the cross is a shadow of the injustice of the gospel. See the scandal of the gospel in this sermon from Isaiah 53:7-9.

About the Series

How did Jesus learn about who he was and what he came to do? How did those who wrote about Jesus in the New Testament Scriptures come to fully grasp the significance of his death and resurrection? From the Old Testament Scriptures and from the book of Isaiah in particular. In this short series we turn to what are often called the Songs of the Servant in the book of Isaiah. Many years before Christ came, Isaiah told us what our savior came to do and why: to grant us forgiveness and life. Or, put another way, to bring rebels from the wilderness of sin and death into the paradise of life with him.
