The Servant Songs of Isaiah - Song 4 (Isaiah 53)

Wayne Bishop completes the series on the Servant Songs in Isaiah. Considering the Old Testament passage most quoted in the New Testament.  A message of hope to a broken and disappointed people. The servant displays an attitude of one who represents the highly exalted God of the universe despite the lack of acknowledgement and even rejection by the people who were waiting for the Messiah. But the prophetic song goes on to declare the heart of the gospel, ‘The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all’, salvation to all and an example of how we, who follow Christ, are to live. Isaiah speaks of a hope that will turn the world upside down.

 

The reading is Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12
