7. The Suffering Servant

Nowhere in the Old Testament is the gospel as clear as it is in Isaiah 53. 700 years before Jesus was born the Lord showed Isaiah the kind of Savior the world needed – a suffering servant. We will see the three stages of Jesus’ ministry: the downward movement of His incarnation – entering our world, engaging with us and enduring great opposition. Then we will see the graphic power of His redemption – serving, suffering and sacrificing for us. Finally we will see the wondrous victory of His resurrection – finding our rest, renewal and rejoicing in the victory that is also promised to us. Jesus gave us an example and if we follow Him in His humble descent we can be confident we will follow Him in His victorious exaltation.
