The Suffering Servant

WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:07.719 Especially praised you and thank you that you have elevated your word up with your 2 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:12.880 holy name. It is an eternal word, it is a word of salvation 3 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.640 and father, we delight in it because of the work of your spirit within 4 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.640 each one of us. We pray, Lord, that you would help us. 5 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.120 We may be a little tired, but we pray that you'd help us 6 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:32.560 to listen carefully, help me and my thoughts and speech to say that which 7 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:37.799 is pleasing in your sight and edifying to each and every one of us. 8 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:44.079 In Jesus name, Amn, and if you would remain standing with me as 9 00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:59.799 we hear the word of God. Please turn to Isaiah, chapter fifty three. 10 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:04.879 Isaiah fifty three, I'm going to read those twelve verses of that chapter. 11 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:22.079 Listen carefully. This is the word plant and like a root out of 12 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.719 dry ground. He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, 13 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:33.200 and no beauty that we should desire ire him. He was despised and 14 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.799 rejected by man, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and as 15 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.719 one from whom men hide their faces. He was despised and we esteemed him. 16 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:51.680 Not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Yet 17 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:59.280 we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced 18 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:05.799 for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities. Upon Him was the 19 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:15.400 chastisement that brought us peace. And with his wounds we are healed. All 20 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.680 we, like sheep, have gone astray, we have turned everyone to his 21 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:27.840 own way, and the Lord is laid on him the iniquity of us all. 22 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.400 He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth, 23 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:36.240 like a lamb that has led to slaughter and like a sheep that, 24 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:42.159 before it cheers, is silent. So he opened not his mouth. By 25 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.759 oppression and judgment, he was taken away. And as for his generation, 26 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.560 who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, 27 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.319 stricken for the transgression of my people, and they made his grave with the 28 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.479 wicked and with a rich man and his death, although he had done no 29 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.560 violence and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will 30 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.400 of the Lord to crush him. He has put him to grief. When 31 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:21.960 his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring, he 32 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.520 shall prolong his days the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 33 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:34.919 Out of the anguish of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied by 34 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.360 his knowledge. Shall the Righteous One, my servant, make many to be 35 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.159 accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will divide 36 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.599 him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the 37 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.159 strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the 38 00:03:55.159 --> Trans
