The Prophesied King, week nine

Join Rod, Janice, and Corie in this episode of Bible Discovery as they delve into the profound insights of Isaiah 53. This chapter is known for its depiction of the Suffering Servant, believed to be a prophecy about Jesus Christ. The hosts explore its historical context and its significance in Christian theology. Discover how this passage is used to bridge understanding with Jewish communities and its impact on believers worldwide. A must-listen for those interested in biblical studies and spiritual growth.

Isaiah 53 is one of the most important chapters in the entire Bible! This astounding passage prophesizes the death of Christ 700 years before He even lived! This amazing chapter shows how the King would die on behalf of His people so that they (and us) might be part of His eternal kingdom. Join us as we study this key chapter in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Isaiah 53 is one of the most important and well-known chapters in the entire Old Testament. Prior to this study, what is your familiarity with this chapter and why would you have said it was so important for Christians to know and understand?  2.    The podcast mentioned that background leading up to this chapter included the unfolding promise of the New Covenant that would be made with and through the Servant. This covenant will be a NEW covenant (Is 42 & 49) where God's people will enter a NEW Kingdom (Isaiah 2 & 25) with a NEW King (Isaiah 7, 9, 11, et.al.) as the NEW Israel (Isaiah 49:3). Why is this background vital to understanding the profound depth of Isaiah 53 and the offering of the Suffering Servant King for our sins?  3.    The podcast mentioned that there were three "servants" mentioned in the Book of Isaiah. Who were they? Which servant is being spoken of here in Isaiah 53?  4.    How is the Messiah-Servant-King described in verses 2 and 3? Why would this be a surprise to God's people? Would you have difficulty believing in a Messianic King who looked like this?  5.    What happens to the Messiah-King in verses 5, 7 and 9? How does verses 6 and 8 explain why He would experience such suffering?  6.    According to verse 10, who was the ultimate source of the suffering of the Servant? Why is that important for us to know?  7.    Verse 10 also says that the Suffering Servant would offer Himself as a "guilt offering". The podcast mentioned that the guilt offering was taught in Levititus where the person paid 1/5 more in restitution for the damages of their sin. Think about our sin before God; we have an infinite debt before God, what is 1/5 of infinity? Why is our debt to God literally impossible to repay? Why did we need an eternal king to pay our eternal debt, plus 1/5, for us?  8.    According to verse 11, how did the Father view the guilt offering of the Suffering Servant? Who will be justified by this offering? What does it even mean to be justified? What does it mean for YOU to be justified?  9.    When did you first look to Jesus as your guilt offering payment to God? How has that realization impacted your relationship with God, the world and His work in your life?  10.    If a person will not trust in Jesus' guilt offering payment for their sins, what is the reality of their relationship with God now and for eternity?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

IntroductionThe Christian gospel confronts us with a truth that requires profound humility. We have to come to grips with the reality that we are heinous sinners. We need to own that we are so estranged from God that only Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection will bring us near. This is not some dramatic event for the sake of drama. I hope that as we consider what Christ suffered, why He suffered, and what His suffering accomplished, we are led to a deeper appreciation of God's grace. So, why the cross? Was it really necessary? What Did Christ Suffer?Christ's suffering began when he took on the flesh. Our catechism wants us to understand that the very act of taking on human flesh was an act of humiliation for the eternal Son. As Isaiah's fourth Servant Song declares, He had "no form or majesty that we should look at him.” Isaiah predicts that He appeared ordinary. Yet this humiliation was necessary because humanity had broken communion with God in the Garden. Adam, placed in Eden to guard and keep it, failed in his duty when Satan tempted Eve, and the instantaneous consequence was shame, exposure, and estrangement from the Lord who had walked with them in the cool of the day.Christ's suffering culminated in His role as the true Scapegoat, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows. Isaiah 53 echoes both aspects of that ritual. We remember the scapegoat that carried the people's sins into the wilderness. The other aspect was the slain animal whose blood was brought into the Holy of Holies. Christ not only removes our sins from us by shedding his blood, but he also shoulders the weight of them Himself. Yes, he did this as one who has never sinned or compromised God's holiness. Christ lives up to His Father's declaration when he is equipped with the Holy Spirit to do his mission. His Father declared, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” and Christ lived up to this expectation. Why Did Christ Suffer?Christ suffered to deliver us from eternal condemnation. We cannot escape this sentence without Christ. When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, they discovered the true death sentence. They could no longer be in the Lord's presence without feeling shame. They made clothing to cover their shame, but the shame never went away. Death is more than ceasing to breathe, but it is losing communion with God.The flaming sword guarding the tree of life represents the impassable barrier. In order for one to secure life, they must pass through the flaming sword of hell's judgment. No mere human could survive such a sword. Isaiah assures us that Christ was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities. This was not accidental suffering or a Plan B gone wrong. Eden tells us the cost. Isaiah predicts the cost. So we know that Christ's suffering was intended by God. The chastisement that brought us peace fell upon Christ. He suffered so that we might be delivered from the wrath to come and brought back into fellowship with the Triune God.What Did His Suffering Accomplish?The cross accomplishes what no mere moral example could achieve: it actually removes our sin and credits Christ's righteousness to our account. Pilate's threefold declaration of Christ's innocence, followed by his ironic inscription "King of the Jews," establishes the holiness of the sacrifice even as the earthly judge condemns Him. It also tells us that Pilate was not a victim or a passive bystander. He did send Christ to the cross as a human judge even as he declared Christ innocent. Christ hung upon the cross, hung upon a cursed tree, like a covenant breaker. Christ never transgressed, but this cross declared that Christ died the death of a sinner. He Himself never broke the covenant with God. This is the double imputation at the heart of the gospel: our sins credited to Christ, His righteousness credited to us. The result is shalom. Shalom, peace, is not a cold peace treaty where God merely tolerates us. Shalom is the full restoration of communion and fellowship with God. We are healed by His wounds, made whole by His brokenness, brought near by His being cast out. Isaiah knew that Christ would not remain dead. Isaiah assures us that Christ lives to make intercession for His people. Our Holy Priest is continually praying for sinners who still struggle and fail. The Servant's work continues in heaven as He represents His people before the Father, ensuring that those He has redeemed will persevere to the end. ConclusionThe cross is not divine theater. The cross is not ultimately about demonstrating how much God hates sin, though it certainly does that. It is necessary for Christ to take away our sins. He was declared innocent. He is sentenced to death by an earthly judge. He is hung upon a tree as a covenant breaker. He is raised to life, being vindicated by the heavenly courts. He lives to make intercession for his people. Believe in Christ to find life and the safe passage into the most holy place in heaven itself. Our God is not distant from us. Our God has not abandoned us. Praise be to God that He interrupts our course toward destruction and transforms our foolish desires to be in line with His. He does not merely do this and send us on our way, but He unites us to the resurrected Christ and adopts us as His children. Let us believe that Christ has done it. Let us therefore be a people who conform joyfully to His will. Let us live as redeemed children. He is the redeemer, and we are those who have been redeemed. Let us live out of gratitude, walking in His Spirit.

00:00:00 Psalm 14800:01:17 1 Corinthians 1500:07:28 Numbers 3100:13:58 Isaiah 5300:16:07 Gospilled Minute: Waters of the UniverseDay 148 Commentary and Content:https://andrewhorval.substack.com/p/route-66-day-148

“He became obedient to the point of death,even the death of the cross.” Jesus'entire earthly life was marked by obedience. Hebrews 10:7 says: “Behold, Ihave come to do Your will, O my God.” From Bethlehem to Calvary, Jesuslived in perfect submission to the Father. In the Gospel of John Jesus made itvery clear that He did not do what He Himself wanted to do. He always did whatHis Father told Him to do. He went where His Father told Him to go, and Hespoke what His Father told Him to speak. It is very obvious that Jesus lived alife of submission to the Father. Where Adam disobeyed in a garden, Jesusobeyed in a garden. In Gethsemane, facing the horror of the cross, Jesusprayed: “Not My will, but Thine be done.” What obedience! Notice verse 8 says: “He became obedientto the point of death.” Obedience cost Him everything. Sometimeswe speak casually about obedience, but biblical obedience is often very costly.For Jesus, obedience meant: rejection, betrayal, false accusations, mocking, beatings,crucifixion, and ultimately death. Then Paul emphasizes: “Even the death ofthe cross.” Thecross was the most humiliating and shameful form of execution in the Romanworld. Roman citizens were generally exempt from crucifixion. It was reservedfor the worst criminals, slaves, and rebels. Victims were publicly stripped,mocked, and displayed in agony before the world. My friend, that is the deathJesus willingly obeyed unto—the death of the cross. Deuteronomy 21:23 declares:“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.” Galatians 3:13 tells us: “Christhas redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.”Hebecame that curse for us by hanging on the cross. Jesusdid not merely die physically. He bore the wrath and judgment for our sins—thejudgment we deserved.Isaiah53:6 says: “The LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” 2Corinthians 5:21 says: “For God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” At the cross, Jesustook our place. He suffered the judgment we deserved so that we could receivethe forgiveness we did not deserve. My friend, this is the heart of the gospel. Remember,Jesus chose this. Matthew 26:53 says that He could have called twelve legionsof angels, but love held Him to the cross. The nails did not hold Him there. Itwas the love of God and the love of Christ that held Him on that cross when Hedied. What application does this have for you and metoday? First, we must realize that obedience always involves surrender. Youcannot follow Christ while insisting on your own way and your own will. Jesussaid in Luke 9:23: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himselfand take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Second, true obedience istested when it becomes costly. Anyone can obey when it is convenient. Obediencebecomes real when sacrifice is required. Maybe the sacrifice will involve: ourreputation, our comfort, our popularity, our financial security, our relationships,or our personal plans. When we come to Christ and choose to follow Him, it willcost us something. But nothing we surrender for Christ compares to what Hesurrendered for us!  Thecross changes everything about how we view sacrifice. Paul later tells us inRomans 12:1:“Present your bodies a living sacrifice.” The Christian lifeis not about shallow, convenient Christianity. It is about cross-centereddiscipleship. But here is the wonderful truth: the cross is not the end. Sundaywas coming. Humiliation would give way to exaltation. Death would give way toresurrection. Tomorrow, in Philippians 2:9, we will see heaven's response toChrist's obedience: “Therefore God has highly exalted Him.”  Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Isaiah 53 is one of the clearest Old Testament depictions of the gospel. However, Dr. Bart Ehrman (New Testament Scholar and Critic) suggests that Isaiah 53 does not refer to Jesus, or the idea of the Messiah in general, but rather to the nation of Israel. This episode examines prophecy and tense usage, New Testament readings (Luke and Acts), manuscript evidence like the Dead Sea Scrolls, and why early Jewish expectations missed the suffering-Messiah reading—arguing Isaiah 53 ultimately points to Christ.   Article Referenced: https://ehrmanblog.org/does-isaiah-53-predict-jesus-suffering-and-death-or-has-isaiah-53-been-debunked/

But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4–5)
