00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.400
 There's not a whole lot that's much better than resurrection music.

00:00:19.539 --> 00:00:20.219
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.640
 And what we really have to celebrate, regardless of the difficulties that you're experiencing

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:44.039
 this morning, and I don't want to downplay the significance of those difficulties, but

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:51.200
 in light of the hope that you have in Christ, those difficulties really begin to fade into

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:51.700
 the background.

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:55.859
 Easter is one of my favorite times of year.

00:00:55.859 --> 00:01:03.060
 As I was talking with some of you this morning for breakfast, I know there are a lot of traditions

00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:05.680
 that happen during the Easter season.

00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:13.640
 Some of the most vivid memories that I have as a child occur in this time of year.

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.920
 I can remember specifically one Easter morning, and my mom would typically help with a twos

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.480
 and three Sunday school class, and I had the joy of helping her that morning.

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.820
 And one of the things that we did, we walked the kids around the block, they were all holding

00:01:31.820 --> 00:01:39.659
 a rope, but one of the things that really caught my attention is just the vivid colors, the deep

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:45.700
 blue sky, and the life of all the flowers that were beginning to bloom that day.

00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:49.879
 It was a reminder to me of the significance of what we celebrate today.

00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:57.700
 Not just the significance of new life, but the significance of life eternal.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:00.000
 True life.

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.240
 Genuine life.

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.340
 Lasting life that can be had in Christ.

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:09.439
 Have you experienced that life?

00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:16.680
 Do you know that life, that life is offered to anyone who is listening to me in this room?

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:24.099
 It's offered to anyone in this world to experience and to enjoy, to participate really in that

00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:26.659
 everlasting life, the life of God.

00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:32.840
 The life that Jesus came to bring to us 2,000 years ago.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.800
 A life that we'll look at this morning from Isaiah chapter 53.

00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.020
 It was a life that was unexpected in many ways.

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.120
 And if you would turn with me, please, to Isaiah chapter 52.

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.240
 We'll begin there.

00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:57.400
 We'll kind of set the stage for what the people of Israel were expecting in Jesus and what they

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:04.659
 actually got, what they had hoped for, and how short those hopes were in terms of the

00:03:04.659 --> 00:03:08.439
 actual reality of what Jesus had to give.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:17.520
 That their hopes were so small in comparison with the deep wonder of what Christ had to

00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:17.840
 give.

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:25.740
 As we approach this resurrection morning, as we think about Easter, we need to think about

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:27.680
 more than just the details of Easter.

00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:35.020
 We've heard many messages, I'm sure, about the events that took place that occurred on this

00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:35.319
 day.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:43.419
 The early morning and the women who went to the tomb to see Jesus and to anoint his body

00:03:43.419 --> 00:03:44.739
 with ointment.

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:51.680
 We remember the angels and the message that they gave to the women who were there.

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.740
 We remember how the women ran back to tell the disciples and how confused the disciples seemed

00:03:57.740 --> 00:03:59.840
 to be about all of these events.

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.680
 How Peter and John had a foot race back to the tomb and then looked in and peered in.

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.760
 And certainly it was just the way that the women had said it was.

00:04:09.820 --> 00:04:10.780
 The tomb was empty.

00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.260
 Still wondering what this all could mean.

00:04:14.259 --> 00:04:18.139
 And then the encounter.

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:25.939
 The encounter of Mary with who she assumed to be the gardener and later found to be Jesus

00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:27.319
 Christ himself.

00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:38.019
 The walk on the way to Emmaus by the two disciples who were there heavy and sorrowful and grieving

00:04:38.019 --> 00:04:40.979
 about the events of the weekend.

00:04:41.979 --> 00:04:44.180
 And then walking along with this stranger.

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.060
 Who was this stranger?

00:04:46.219 --> 00:04:53.259
 Who opened up the scriptures from Moses and all the prophets to reveal who Jesus the Messiah

00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:53.979
 would be.

00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.759
 And then closed in that upper room on the day of Easter.

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.719
 The disciples still huddled together in fear.

00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:07.379
 And Jesus coming through and coming into the midst of them.

00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:13.000
 And then he also begins to tell them all of the things related to himself.

00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:17.879
 We know these things to be the events of Easter.

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.139
 But the events in and of themselves can't change a life.

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:26.860
 What was Easter intended to do?

00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:29.639
 Why do we celebrate this day?

00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.839
 And how does it have an impact in your life?

00:05:32.919 --> 00:05:33.800
 Not only today.

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:36.099
 But on through the rest of your life.

00:05:36.219 --> 00:05:36.959
 On into eternity.

00:05:38.159 --> 00:05:39.680
 Really that's why we're here today.

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:42.039
 We're here not just to celebrate an event.

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:45.639
 We're here to celebrate the work of Christ.

00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:50.500
 And what he hopes to accomplish in your life today.

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.879
 It is a transforming work.

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:57.439
 It is a wondrous work.

00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.719
 That Jesus hopes to accomplish for you today.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.740
 We find in Isaiah 52.

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:08.379
 And if you're a guest with us this morning.

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:12.740
 It's on page 613 in the Pew Bible ahead of you.

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:20.800
 We see a glimmer again of this God that we have come to know in Isaiah.

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.800
 He has been brought to us or introduced to us in many different ways.

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:29.860
 We have seen that he is the Holy One of Israel.

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.400
 We have seen that he is the Almighty God.

00:06:32.939 --> 00:06:36.860
 We have seen that he is the God of mercy and the God of comfort.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.480
 The God of judgment.

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.160
 That he is the God who saves and redeems.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:47.160
 He is the God who comes and rescues his people and saves a remnant.

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:52.780
 All of these things we find about the God here in Isaiah.

00:06:52.779 --> 00:06:57.739
 But running through the book of Isaiah.

00:06:57.739 --> 00:06:59.399
 There is one theme.

00:06:59.559 --> 00:07:00.219
 One anthem.

00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.399
 That sounds itself from chapter to chapter.

00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.059
 And it culminates in Isaiah chapter 52 and Isaiah chapter 53.

00:07:10.059 --> 00:07:12.099
 It is the God who saves.

00:07:13.299 --> 00:07:14.879
 The God who saves.

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.279
 That is what the Almighty One came to do.

00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:20.719
 He came to conquer.

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.760
 He came to be victorious.

00:07:23.760 --> 00:07:26.740
 That is what the Holy One of Israel came to do.

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:29.640
 He came to overcome sin in the grave.

00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:34.900
 He came to rescue our desperate condition of sin.

00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:36.440
 And to make us right with him.

00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:40.160
 That is what the God of mercy came to do.

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:42.600
 He came not to give us what we deserve.

00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.380
 But he came to give us the life.

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:46.820
 The grace.

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:49.280
 The gift of God's favor.

00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:50.320
 Fellowship with him.

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.860
 That we don't deserve.

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.420
 And running through the book of Isaiah.

00:07:54.760 --> 00:07:58.440
 These anthems of God come loud and clear.

00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.640
 But woven through it all from chapter to chapter is this message.

00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:05.720
 This anthem of the God who saves.

00:08:07.260 --> 00:08:09.540
 On at least 75 occasions.

00:08:09.940 --> 00:08:13.380
 Isaiah magnifies the saving power of God.

00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:14.379
 He addresses it.

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:17.279
 He addresses it in terms of the God who saves.

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:20.139
 He addresses it as the one who brings salvation.

00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.060
 As the one who is identified with the title as Savior.

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:25.060
 Behold.

00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:26.720
 Behold.

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.959
 He says in verse 12.

00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:29.379
 Or chapter 12 verse 2.

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.019
 God is my salvation.

00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:33.799
 I will trust and not be afraid.

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.500
 For the Lord God is my strength and my song.

00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.279
 And he has become my salvation.

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.240
 In chapter 43 verse 3.

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:42.460
 He says.

00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:43.940
 I am the Lord your God.

00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:45.340
 The Holy One of Israel.

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:46.779
 Your Savior.

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:49.539
 Time and time again.

00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:52.899
 God addresses himself as the one who saves.

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.059
 And here we find in chapter 52.

00:08:55.459 --> 00:08:56.620
 In chapter 53.

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:59.659
 How that saving work is going to be accomplished.

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:04.480
 Chapter 52.

00:09:05.819 --> 00:09:06.860
 Verse 7.

00:09:07.199 --> 00:09:08.079
 It says this.

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:12.319
 How beautiful upon the mountains.

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:16.240
 Are the feet of him who brings good news.

00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:18.740
 Who proclaims peace.

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.899
 Who brings glad tidings of good things.

00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.620
 Who proclaims salvation.

00:09:25.659 --> 00:09:27.100
 Who says to Zion.

00:09:27.579 --> 00:09:29.959
 Your God reigns.

00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.819
 And backing up to chapter 51.

00:09:33.079 --> 00:09:34.120
 Verse 5.

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:34.959
 He says this.

00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:37.360
 My righteousness is near.

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.500
 My salvation has gone forth.

00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:40.659
 My right.

00:09:41.059 --> 00:09:42.980
 My arm will judge the peoples.

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.480
 The coastlands will wait upon me.

00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.120
 And on my right arm.

00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.740
 They will trust.

00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:53.240
 This is the God of salvation.

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.320
 This is the one they expected who would come.

00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.019
 The God who bears his holy arm.

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:04.399
 As we find in chapter 52 verse 10.

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.480
 The Lord has made bare his holy arm.

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.819
 In the eyes of all the nations.

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:14.079
 And all the ends of the earth shall see.

00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:15.439
 The salvation.

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:16.899
 Of our God.

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:19.220
 The God of salvation.

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.059
 Comes front and center.

00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:22.819
 And perhaps.

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.539
 Like no other passage in Isaiah.

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.860
 And no other passage in all of the Old Testament.

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:31.560
 We find the totality of the gospel.

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.519
 Encapsulated.

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:33.820
 Here in this chapter.

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.300
 From eternity past.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.019
 And reaching and stretching to eternity future.

00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:42.519
 We find the plan of God.

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:43.879
 The will of the Father.

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.500
 To save the world.

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:48.840
 And the means by which he will accomplish that work.

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.060
 There was a savior.

00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:58.519
 We begin to see him here in chapter 52.

00:10:59.339 --> 00:11:01.299
 Beginning in verse 13.

00:11:02.299 --> 00:11:03.399
 Look with me as I read.

00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.639
 Behold my servant shall act wisely.

00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.339
 He shall be high and lifted up.

00:11:13.179 --> 00:11:15.459
 And shall be exalted.

00:11:17.719 --> 00:11:19.219
 If we were to stop there.

00:11:19.319 --> 00:11:19.819
 We would say.

00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.179
 That's exactly what the people of Israel expected.

00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:27.419
 They expected the servant to be high and exalted.

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.379
 They expected him to reign.

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:31.359
 They expected him to conquer.

00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:34.139
 It was a desperate people.

00:11:34.819 --> 00:11:36.299
 A people in the first century.

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:40.059
 Who had already experienced 400 years of darkness.

00:11:40.059 --> 00:11:42.659
 In terms of prophetic vision.

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:43.779
 And prophetic message.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.239
 Their hearts were aching for messages from God.

00:11:48.359 --> 00:11:49.539
 They felt distant.

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.259
 They felt estranged from him.

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:53.799
 They were looking for that Messiah.

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:54.559
 Who would come.

00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.980
 And would reveal the words of God to them.

00:11:57.939 --> 00:12:00.019
 They were also a people who were oppressed.

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:02.399
 Sorrowing and grieving.

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.460
 Because of the Roman Empire.

00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:07.939
 That had placed the burden upon them.

00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.539
 There was this sense of subjection.

00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.860
 And having to yield to another power.

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:16.919
 They anticipated the day of the Messiah coming.

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.600
 And reigning from Israel.

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:20.840
 Reigning from Jerusalem.

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:22.560
 Conquering the nations.

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:24.360
 And thriving as a people.

00:12:25.660 --> 00:12:27.600
 That was the hope that they looked for.

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:32.360
 And this verse must have resonated as they heard this word.

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.220
 The servant coming.

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.180
 He shall be high and lifted up.

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.759
 He shall be exalted.

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:42.180
 And then in the next verse.

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:43.600
 All of a sudden.

00:12:44.300 --> 00:12:46.139
 The scene changes dramatically.

00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:51.019
 There is this shocking twist to the story.

00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:53.740
 Notice in verse 14.

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:57.639
 As many were astonished at you.

00:12:58.699 --> 00:13:03.580
 His appearance so marred beyond human semblance.

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:07.540
 His form beyond that of children of mankind.

00:13:07.540 --> 00:13:11.000
 So that he shall sprinkle many nations.

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:14.139
 Kings shall shut their mouths because of him.

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:16.740
 For that which has not been told them.

00:13:17.139 --> 00:13:17.940
 They shall see.

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.600
 And that which they have not heard.

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:22.040
 They understand.

00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.000
 An introduction now to chapter 53.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.399
 Which helps to move us into the real scenario.

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.319
 That we're going to find in this servant king.

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.199
 Who came 2,000 years ago.

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.940
 Salvation would come through God's servant.

00:13:42.020 --> 00:13:43.440
 That is the first point this morning.

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.160
 Salvation would come through the servant.

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:50.200
 But it did not meet.

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:51.440
 He did not meet expectation.

00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.580
 There was an expectation of glory.

00:13:55.660 --> 00:13:56.840
 There was an anticipation.

00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.920
 That this longed for king would come to conquer.

00:14:03.060 --> 00:14:05.259
 That was the salvation that they needed.

00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:07.860
 They needed liberation from oppressors.

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:09.759
 Or so they thought.

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.299
 Jesus in coming.

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.059
 Instead of meeting with the superficial needs.

00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:19.179
 That they had as a people.

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:21.620
 Came to meet their deepest need.

00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:24.939
 Came not to just give them peace on the earth.

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:27.919
 But came to give them peace with God.

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.100
 What would that king have to do.

00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.720
 In order to accomplish such a work.

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:37.039
 This glorious work.

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.139
 Of this glorious exalted king.

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.200
 This servant.

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.240
 And yet coming in such an unexpected way.

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:48.620
 So surprising in fact.

00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.620
 The prophet draws attention to it.

00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.000
 By asking a couple of questions here.

00:14:53.439 --> 00:14:55.000
 At the beginning of chapter 53.

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.319
 Notice them with me.

00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:57.580
 In verse 1.

00:14:57.580 --> 00:15:01.700
 Who has believed what he has heard from us.

00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:06.540
 To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed.

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.540
 Who can believe this message about this king.

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:14.560
 How did such a shift take place.

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.480
 I was expecting this king.

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:19.280
 Who would be exalted and high.

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:19.920
 And lifted up.

00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:22.460
 And would help to bring peace on the earth.

00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:22.900
 And yet.

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.580
 He comes in such a different way.

00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.360
 The true understanding of the servant.

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.639
 Is dumbfounding.

00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:33.879
 It's communicated by divine revelation.

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.440
 It is a report.

00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:37.300
 That is given by God.

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:37.940
 To the people.

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.000
 But a revelation.

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.220
 Which they could not receive.

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:43.780
 A revelation.

00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:45.560
 Which they could not internalize.

00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:46.440
 They could not appreciate.

00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.440
 Jesus draws attention to this fact.

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:50.880
 At the end of his public ministry.

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:52.480
 In John chapter 12.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.380
 He actually uses the two mountain peaks.

00:15:55.380 --> 00:15:56.220
 Of Isaiah.

00:15:56.460 --> 00:15:58.480
 To bring a summary.

00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.500
 To his ministry.

00:16:00.140 --> 00:16:01.040
 One of those.

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.540
 Is this passage.

00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.760
 In Isaiah chapter 53.

00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:05.740
 And the other is.

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.340
 The passage in Isaiah chapter 6.

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.320
 Jesus.

00:16:10.640 --> 00:16:12.360
 In speaking to the people.

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:13.960
 In the moments.

00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:16.220
 Leading up to his death.

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.200
 In the close of his public ministry.

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:19.840
 He says.

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.400
 In spite of all I have done for you.

00:16:23.020 --> 00:16:24.220
 The works that I have.

00:16:24.520 --> 00:16:25.760
 Performed before you.

00:16:25.880 --> 00:16:27.040
 You still do not believe.

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:30.000
 The people whose hearts were darkened.

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:33.220
 But the arm of the Lord.

00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.480
 Was here.

00:16:35.660 --> 00:16:37.260
 The arm of the Lord had come.

00:16:37.260 --> 00:16:39.200
 Not just through other means.

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.120
 But through the Lord himself.

00:16:41.540 --> 00:16:43.380
 He was there before them.

00:16:44.180 --> 00:16:45.260
 His personal presence.

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:45.899
 In presence.

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:47.600
 In personal action.

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.700
 The arm of the Lord.

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:51.279
 Was standing before them.

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:53.019
 The might and the power of God.

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:53.980
 But they couldn't see it.

00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:55.840
 All the revelation.

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.840
 Should have been apparent.

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.779
 But they missed it.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:02.259
 How.

00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:03.340
 Could they miss.

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:03.980
 Such.

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.500
 A clear picture.

00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:07.599
 Of the power of God.

00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:08.319
 In front of them.

00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:10.779
 This arm of God.

00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:11.599
 That we waited for.

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.059
 How could they miss.

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:14.980
 Such a picture.

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:16.819
 Well it's.

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.399
 Detailed for us.

00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:19.399
 Here in the next few verses.

00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:21.319
 There are at least two reasons.

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.159
 Why they missed.

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:22.940
 The picture.

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:23.480
 The first.

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:25.119
 Is because he was robed.

00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.139
 In humanity.

00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:28.059
 He was robed.

00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:28.740
 In humanity.

00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:29.859
 We see that in verse two.

00:17:30.899 --> 00:17:31.379
 It says.

00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:33.019
 He grew up before him.

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.259
 Like a young plant.

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.720
 And like a root.

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:36.259
 Out of.

00:17:36.639 --> 00:17:37.279
 Dry ground.

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:39.099
 In other words.

00:17:39.099 --> 00:17:41.059
 He seemed to have.

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:41.599
 A holy.

00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:42.279
 Earthly.

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.619
 Or natural.

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:44.119
 Origin.

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.759
 The imagery.

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.339
 Of growth.

00:17:46.339 --> 00:17:47.079
 Out of the soil.

00:17:47.199 --> 00:17:47.539
 Points.

00:17:47.819 --> 00:17:48.519
 To a human.

00:17:48.899 --> 00:17:49.579
 Family tree.

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:52.619
 This dumbfounded them.

00:17:52.699 --> 00:17:52.899
 This.

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:53.939
 Perplexed them.

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.799
 How could.

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:56.959
 The Lord's strength.

00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:57.759
 Be in.

00:17:57.939 --> 00:17:58.719
 A man.

00:17:58.899 --> 00:17:59.980
 How could God himself.

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:00.659
 Come.

00:18:00.879 --> 00:18:01.799
 In such a form.

00:18:03.939 --> 00:18:04.619
 And yet.

00:18:04.659 --> 00:18:05.539
 They missed the message.

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.559
 Throughout Isaiah.

00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.859
 A virgin will conceive.

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:10.039
 And give birth.

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:10.919
 To a son.

00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:13.619
 A child is born.

00:18:13.679 --> 00:18:14.879
 Unto us a son is given.

00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:17.000
 And in chapter 11.

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.220
 There shall come forth.

00:18:18.639 --> 00:18:19.399
 A shoot.

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:20.639
 From the stump of Jesse.

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:22.119
 A branch.

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:22.879
 From his roots.

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.779
 Shall bear fruit.

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:26.259
 But this message.

00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:26.639
 Of.

00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:28.179
 Of a human.

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.559
 Branch.

00:18:30.579 --> 00:18:31.339
 Confounded them.

00:18:32.639 --> 00:18:33.480
 How could God.

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.779
 Come in such weakness.

00:18:35.659 --> 00:18:36.539
 How could God.

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:37.180
 Be robed.

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:37.920
 In such.

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.599
 Humility.

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:40.220
 How could the.

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:41.220
 Exalted one.

00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:41.659
 Come.

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.920
 In such weakness.

00:18:44.339 --> 00:18:45.379
 Add to this.

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.119
 His unimpressive nature.

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.659
 We find.

00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:48.940
 In.

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.619
 The rest of verse 2.

00:18:51.879 --> 00:18:52.720
 He had no form.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.619
 Or majesty.

00:18:53.899 --> 00:18:54.879
 That we should look at him.

00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:56.440
 No beauty.

00:18:56.899 --> 00:18:58.500
 That we should desire him.

00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:00.659
 There were no credentials.

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:02.740
 He was unimpressive.

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.839
 Can anything good.

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:06.159
 Come from Nazareth.

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.320
 We hear those words.

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.840
 He was unattractive.

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:11.920
 And unappealing.

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.380
 He was uninspiring.

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:14.920
 In a human way.

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:17.640
 Why would God stoop.

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:19.000
 To such levels.

00:19:19.540 --> 00:19:20.740
 Of commonness.

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:23.200
 I believe it was because.

00:19:23.320 --> 00:19:24.040
 He wanted to remove.

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:24.700
 The distraction.

00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:26.120
 Of the externals.

00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:27.000
 So that the.

00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:27.680
 The power.

00:19:27.840 --> 00:19:28.400
 And the work.

00:19:28.540 --> 00:19:29.019
 Of God.

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:30.000
 Could shine through.

00:19:30.300 --> 00:19:31.380
 The life of Christ.

00:19:31.580 --> 00:19:32.600
 So they could see God.

00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:33.180
 On display.

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:34.180
 And not see.

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.060
 The person.

00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:38.600
 God was trying to remove.

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:39.240
 The distractions.

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:41.120
 Trying to help them.

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:42.279
 See God.

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:43.340
 For who he was.

00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:45.940
 And yet they missed it.

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.860
 They couldn't see it.

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:49.640
 And because of that.

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.240
 We find.

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:50.920
 Next.

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:51.180
 That they.

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:52.740
 That he was rejected.

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:53.700
 By his people.

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:55.380
 Not only.

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:56.600
 That he was robed.

00:19:56.600 --> 00:19:57.080
 In humility.

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:57.420
 But he.

00:19:57.539 --> 00:19:58.480
 He was rejected.

00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:00.080
 By his people.

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:03.660
 Far from following him.

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.740
 They shunned him.

00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:06.600
 The reputation.

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.680
 Of the despised.

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.539
 And the first.

00:20:08.620 --> 00:20:09.460
 And last lines.

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:10.519
 Are typical.

00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:11.580
 Of Isaiah.

00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:12.759
 To draw attention.

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:13.539
 And to highlight.

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.200
 The significance.

00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:15.860
 Of what is taking place.

00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:17.720
 In verse 3.

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.799
 He was despised.

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.419
 And rejected.

00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:20.059
 By men.

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:20.460
 That's the.

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:21.980
 That's the introducing line.

00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:22.440
 But then.

00:20:22.639 --> 00:20:23.720
 At the end of verse 3.

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.119
 He says.

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.299
 He was despised.

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:26.559
 And we esteemed him not.

00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:29.119
 Reinforced.

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:29.639
 Twice.

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:30.779
 In this verse.

00:20:30.899 --> 00:20:31.960
 To draw attention.

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.799
 To the significance.

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.019
 Of what was occurring.

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:35.919
 Their king.

00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:37.099
 The arm of God.

00:20:37.139 --> 00:20:37.879
 Who had come near.

00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:39.460
 Was despised.

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:42.700
 Jesus.

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:43.440
 Despised.

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:45.059
 Rejected.

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:46.899
 A man of sorrows.

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.539
 Unesteemed.

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.700
 The arm of the Lord.

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.180
 Revealed.

00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.019
 God himself.

00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:52.579
 Walked.

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.279
 With men.

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:54.139
 And they.

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.159
 Rejected.

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:55.519
 Him.

00:20:56.659 --> 00:20:58.519
 How could a rejected one be.

00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.339
 God himself.

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:02.799
 How could so.

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:03.200
 So.

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:03.700
 Someone.

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.079
 Who is so unappealing.

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:06.200
 So unattractive.

00:21:06.399 --> 00:21:06.879
 Come from.

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:08.639
 From such a place as Nazareth.

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:08.940
 Be.

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:10.579
 The arm of the Lord.

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:13.919
 How broken.

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.539
 Their thinking.

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.480
 God among them.

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.700
 Had not led them to faith.

00:21:19.639 --> 00:21:20.000
 Who.

00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:21.159
 Had believed.

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.579
 The report.

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:25.919
 In spite of all that God had done.

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:28.579
 Notice their posture towards him.

00:21:29.639 --> 00:21:31.379
 In chapter 53 verse 1.

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:33.659
 They don't believe.

00:21:34.659 --> 00:21:35.700
 In verse 2.

00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:36.839
 They don't look.

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.960
 In verse 2.

00:21:39.019 --> 00:21:39.799
 They don't desire.

00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:41.940
 In verse 3.

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:42.740
 They don't love.

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:44.399
 They don't search.

00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:45.980
 They don't esteem.

00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:48.660
 For all that God had done.

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.180
 For them.

00:21:49.860 --> 00:21:51.019
 There is only rejection.

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.880
 In its place.

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.720
 Which continues.

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:54.560
 To underscore.

00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:55.759
 The diagnosis.

00:21:56.320 --> 00:21:57.460
 Of our human condition.

00:21:58.140 --> 00:21:59.160
 In desperate need.

00:21:59.240 --> 00:21:59.660
 For God.

00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:01.440
 But unable.

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.259
 To come to him.

00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:02.780
 On our own.

00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:04.720
 Salvation.

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.140
 Through.

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:05.860
 The servant.

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.140
 But then.

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:07.880
 It's followed by.

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:08.540
 Salvation.

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.080
 Through.

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:10.439
 His suffering.

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.819
 Salvation.

00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.299
 Through.

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.019
 His suffering.

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:14.199
 We find that in verses.

00:22:14.419 --> 00:22:14.879
 4 to 9.

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.079
 Let me read those for us.

00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.039
 It says.

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:20.939
 Surely he has borne our griefs.

00:22:21.419 --> 00:22:23.000
 And carried our sorrows.

00:22:23.659 --> 00:22:25.399
 Yet we esteemed him stricken.

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:26.579
 Smitten by God.

00:22:26.639 --> 00:22:27.359
 And afflicted.

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:29.679
 But he was pierced.

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:30.779
 For our transgressions.

00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:31.899
 He was crushed.

00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:33.240
 For our iniquities.

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.599
 Upon him.

00:22:34.639 --> 00:22:36.059
 Was the chastisement.

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:37.019
 That brought us peace.

00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:38.559
 And with his wounds.

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.160
 We are healed.

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.980
 All we like sheep.

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:41.639
 Have gone astray.

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:42.339
 We have turned.

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:43.379
 Every one.

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.440
 To his own way.

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.359
 And the Lord.

00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:46.740
 Has laid on him.

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:47.960
 The iniquity.

00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:49.259
 Of us all.

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:52.160
 Do you see.

00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:53.000
 The situation.

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:53.779
 Of the people.

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:54.639
 There.

00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:56.259
 That's the.

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:57.319
 The first point here.

00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:58.200
 The situation.

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:59.000
 Of the people.

00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.039
 I want us.

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.940
 Through this section.

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:01.940
 As we're.

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:02.740
 As we're looking.

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:03.639
 At the suffering.

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:04.379
 Of our.

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:05.099
 Of our God.

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:06.359
 To recognize.

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:07.199
 This great.

00:23:07.199 --> 00:23:07.759
 Exchange.

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:07.879
 Exchange.

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:09.459
 That is taking place here.

00:23:10.179 --> 00:23:10.899
 I would even.

00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:11.559
 Encourage you.

00:23:11.639 --> 00:23:12.019
 To begin.

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:12.879
 To underline.

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:13.719
 The words.

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:14.379
 That you see.

00:23:15.179 --> 00:23:15.879
 Set apart.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.199
 By.

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.259
 By two pronouns.

00:23:17.699 --> 00:23:18.240
 The pronoun.

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:18.819
 He.

00:23:18.959 --> 00:23:19.419
 And the pronoun.

00:23:19.639 --> 00:23:19.839
 We.

00:23:19.959 --> 00:23:20.439
 Or our.

00:23:21.399 --> 00:23:22.039
 Notice.

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:23.119
 The condition.

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:24.059
 Of the people.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.619
 It says.

00:23:26.179 --> 00:23:27.119
 Our griefs.

00:23:28.199 --> 00:23:29.419
 Our sorrows.

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:31.039
 It says.

00:23:31.139 --> 00:23:31.459
 In verse.

00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:31.959
 Five.

00:23:32.139 --> 00:23:33.240
 Our transgressions.

00:23:33.959 --> 00:23:35.119
 Our iniquities.

00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.099
 It says.

00:23:37.719 --> 00:23:38.619
 In verse.

00:23:39.139 --> 00:23:39.459
 Six.

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.279
 We have gone astray.

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:43.739
 And it says.

00:23:43.899 --> 00:23:44.439
 The iniquity.

00:23:44.439 --> 00:23:45.119
 Of us all.

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.719
 That is.

00:23:46.879 --> 00:23:47.619
 The spiritual.

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.439
 Condition.

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.000
 It is a.

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.859
 Hopeless.

00:23:50.399 --> 00:23:50.959
 Condition.

00:23:52.419 --> 00:23:53.539
 It was dire.

00:23:53.959 --> 00:23:54.419
 Situation.

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:54.879
 In Israel.

00:23:55.159 --> 00:23:56.179
 Not because.

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.919
 Of the Roman.

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.399
 Impression.

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:58.139
 But because.

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.359
 Of the spiritual.

00:23:59.719 --> 00:24:00.239
 Condition.

00:24:00.639 --> 00:24:01.199
 Of the people.

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.840
 A situation.

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.480
 That demanded.

00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:05.740
 Consequence.

00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:07.980
 A holy God.

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:08.700
 Judging.

00:24:08.860 --> 00:24:09.920
 An unholy people.

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.580
 Results.

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.580
 In.

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:12.420
 Complete.

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:13.220
 Isolation.

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:13.740
 And.

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:14.240
 And.

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:14.380
 And.

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:14.660
 And.

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:14.680
 And.

00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:14.860
 And.

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:15.519
 Rejection.

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.140
 From God.

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:16.779
 On the people.

00:24:19.080 --> 00:24:19.640
 God.

00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:20.340
 Would have.

00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:20.900
 To discipline.

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.240
 God.

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:21.620
 Would have.

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:22.160
 To judge.

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.000
 Unless.

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.600
 He changed.

00:24:24.840 --> 00:24:25.559
 The situation.

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:27.200
 And he did that.

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:27.740
 By bringing.

00:24:28.340 --> 00:24:29.180
 His sacrifice.

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:32.180
 The sacrifice.

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:32.860
 Of the servant.

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:33.720
 That is the next point.

00:24:33.820 --> 00:24:34.380
 In this section.

00:24:35.080 --> 00:24:35.759
 The sacrifice.

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:37.120
 Of the servant.

00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:39.279
 Notice in verse 4.

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:39.759
 It says.

00:24:40.580 --> 00:24:41.080
 It begins.

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:41.759
 With.

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:42.460
 This word.

00:24:42.820 --> 00:24:43.340
 Surely.

00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.299
 Surely.

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:46.500
 He has born.

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.440
 That's an emphatic word.

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.539
 Of surprise.

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.180
 Of shock.

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:51.900
 It.

00:24:51.980 --> 00:24:53.080
 It emphasizes.

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:54.120
 The unexpected.

00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:55.460
 That is taking place.

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:57.799
 How could this.

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:58.660
 Suffering.

00:24:58.660 --> 00:24:59.259
 Servant.

00:24:59.380 --> 00:24:59.740
 Begin.

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.180
 To.

00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:00.960
 Accept.

00:25:01.100 --> 00:25:01.580
 All.

00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:01.860
 That.

00:25:02.140 --> 00:25:02.759
 That we.

00:25:03.580 --> 00:25:04.400
 That we.

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:05.220
 Should have.

00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:05.920
 Inherited.

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:06.980
 All that we.

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:07.560
 Deserved.

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:08.100
 How would.

00:25:08.100 --> 00:25:09.000
 This suffering.

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:09.580
 Servant.

00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:10.360
 Receive that.

00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:10.980
 On himself.

00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:14.840
 All.

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:15.019
 In.

00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:16.460
 In light of.

00:25:17.540 --> 00:25:18.019
 Understanding.

00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:18.640
 What was coming.

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.400
 Notice.

00:25:20.540 --> 00:25:21.040
 In verse 4.

00:25:21.100 --> 00:25:21.540
 He says.

00:25:21.860 --> 00:25:22.320
 He bore.

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:24.560
 In verse 4.

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:25.240
 He carried.

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.360
 In verse 5.

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:28.979
 He was pierced.

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:31.179
 In verse 5.

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:31.559
 He.

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:32.939
 Was crushed.

00:25:34.219 --> 00:25:34.979
 Verse 5.

00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:35.379
 He.

00:25:35.379 --> 00:25:36.859
 Was chastised.

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.779
 It was.

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.159
 With.

00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:38.919
 Wounds.

00:25:38.919 --> 00:25:40.019
 That he experienced.

00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:41.519
 In verse 6.

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:42.379
 Our iniquities.

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.139
 Laid on him.

00:25:43.959 --> 00:25:44.699
 In verse 7.

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.079
 He.

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:45.819
 Was oppressed.

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:46.839
 Verse 7.

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.399
 He.

00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:48.299
 Was afflicted.

00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:48.979
 Verse 8.

00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:49.479
 He.

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.500
 Was taken away.

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:51.219
 Verse 8.

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:51.539
 He.

00:25:51.639 --> 00:25:52.439
 Was cut off.

00:25:52.959 --> 00:25:53.339
 Verse 8.

00:25:53.399 --> 00:25:53.599
 He.

00:25:53.699 --> 00:25:54.339
 Was stricken.

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.419
 Verse 9.

00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:55.779
 He.

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:55.820
 He.

00:25:55.820 --> 00:25:56.480
 Was buried.

00:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.460
 Verse 10.

00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:00.000
 It was the will.

00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:00.940
 Of the Lord.

00:26:01.320 --> 00:26:01.940
 To crush.

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:02.800
 Him.

00:26:04.300 --> 00:26:05.240
 Now we begin.

00:26:05.320 --> 00:26:06.060
 To experience.

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:06.940
 The power.

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.360
 Of the arm.

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.160
 Of the Lord.

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.960
 To carry.

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:11.080
 The load.

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.720
 For all of men.

00:26:12.840 --> 00:26:13.620
 For all of time.

00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:15.320
 This.

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.240
 Humble.

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.080
 Servant.

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:18.400
 Looking forward.

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:19.180
 To the future.

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:20.279
 Embracing.

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:21.140
 The task.

00:26:21.300 --> 00:26:22.140
 Of what was set.

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.800
 Before him.

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:23.779
 Enduring.

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.839
 The price.

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.519
 The cost.

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.039
 Of sin.

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.180
 For all of mankind.

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.359
 And to do it.

00:26:31.399 --> 00:26:31.819
 Willingly.

00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:33.379
 To do it.

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:34.539
 Courageously.

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:36.220
 To do it.

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:36.740
 Knowing.

00:26:36.879 --> 00:26:37.399
 Full well.

00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.279
 All that would be.

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:38.660
 Taking.

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:39.460
 Place.

00:26:40.879 --> 00:26:42.000
 We often use.

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.700
 The phrase.

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:45.500
 Hindsight.

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:45.980
 Is 20.

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:46.319
 20.

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:47.500
 And.

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:48.059
 And.

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:48.079
 And.

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.220
 And.

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:48.819
 Many times.

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:50.039
 When we're looking forward.

00:26:50.139 --> 00:26:50.759
 To the future.

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:51.799
 We say.

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.819
 If I only knew.

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:53.879
 What the future held.

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:55.140
 Then maybe I could make.

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:56.379
 A good decision.

00:26:59.180 --> 00:26:59.980
 Jesus knew.

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.599
 What was coming.

00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:03.059
 He knew every detail.

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:04.480
 Of what awaited him.

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:04.960
 When he.

00:27:05.099 --> 00:27:05.700
 Would walk.

00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:06.440
 This earth.

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:08.379
 He knew every.

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:10.000
 Every load.

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.839
 That he would carry.

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.740
 Every sorrow.

00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:12.799
 That he would embrace.

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.879
 Every sin.

00:27:13.879 --> 00:27:14.839
 That he would pay for.

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:16.339
 And yet he.

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:17.779
 He still.

00:27:17.919 --> 00:27:18.679
 Allowed himself.

00:27:19.439 --> 00:27:20.199
 To embrace.

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:20.879
 And to carry.

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:21.759
 That load.

00:27:22.159 --> 00:27:23.519
 This great exchange.

00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:24.220
 That took place.

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:24.899
 On the cross.

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.740
 Where Jesus.

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:27.000
 Took our place.

00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:28.599
 And carried that sin.

00:27:28.659 --> 00:27:29.319
 On his shoulders.

00:27:29.699 --> 00:27:30.879
 So that we wouldn't have to.

00:27:31.939 --> 00:27:32.539
 Every sorrow.

00:27:32.639 --> 00:27:33.000
 And grief.

00:27:33.419 --> 00:27:34.059
 Every iniquity.

00:27:34.159 --> 00:27:34.519
 Paid for.

00:27:35.159 --> 00:27:36.399
 All of your sins.

00:27:36.779 --> 00:27:37.299
 Met.

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:38.859
 With the wrath of God.

00:27:38.899 --> 00:27:39.639
 On the cross.

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.359
 For us.

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:42.679
 That.

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:43.839
 Was the great.

00:27:44.399 --> 00:27:44.879
 Exchange.

00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.060
 We saw.

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:48.340
 The coming of Christ.

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:49.160
 We see.

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.240
 The death of Christ.

00:27:50.340 --> 00:27:51.320
 But I want you to see.

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.600
 In Isaiah 53.

00:27:52.600 --> 00:27:53.560
 There is also.

00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:54.560
 The resurrection.

00:27:54.560 --> 00:27:55.300
 Of Christ.

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:56.940
 We find that.

00:27:57.040 --> 00:27:57.860
 In verses 10.

00:27:58.020 --> 00:27:58.720
 In 12.

00:27:58.820 --> 00:27:59.720
 The salvation.

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.660
 That results.

00:28:00.860 --> 00:28:01.480
 In triumph.

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:03.280
 There is triumph.

00:28:03.280 --> 00:28:04.320
 In this passage.

00:28:05.080 --> 00:28:06.240
 Notice it with me.

00:28:06.340 --> 00:28:07.500
 In verses 10.

00:28:07.620 --> 00:28:08.020
 11.

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:08.900
 And 12.

00:28:10.420 --> 00:28:11.640
 It says this.

00:28:12.780 --> 00:28:13.540
 Yet it was.

00:28:13.820 --> 00:28:14.340
 The will.

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.620
 Of the Lord.

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.440
 To crush him.

00:28:17.260 --> 00:28:18.540
 He put him to grief.

00:28:18.540 --> 00:28:19.520
 When his soul.

00:28:19.760 --> 00:28:20.980
 Makes an offering.

00:28:21.340 --> 00:28:21.980
 For guilt.

00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:23.640
 He shall see.

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:24.660
 His offspring.

00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:27.000
 He shall prolong his days.

00:28:27.360 --> 00:28:28.420
 The will of the Lord.

00:28:28.540 --> 00:28:29.380
 Shall prosper.

00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:30.560
 In his hand.

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.760
 Out of the anguish.

00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:33.320
 Of his soul.

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.580
 He shall see.

00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:35.260
 And be satisfied.

00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:36.760
 By his knowledge.

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:37.720
 Shall the righteous one.

00:28:37.800 --> 00:28:38.320
 My servant.

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:39.320
 Make many.

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:40.760
 To be accounted righteous.

00:28:41.260 --> 00:28:42.320
 And he shall bear.

00:28:42.320 --> 00:28:43.100
 Their iniquities.

00:28:43.099 --> 00:28:44.799
 Therefore.

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:46.779
 I will divide.

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:47.559
 Him.

00:28:47.639 --> 00:28:48.159
 A portion.

00:28:48.159 --> 00:28:49.099
 With the many.

00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.199
 And he shall divide.

00:28:51.199 --> 00:28:51.819
 The spoil.

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:52.559
 With the strong.

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.459
 Because he poured out.

00:28:54.459 --> 00:28:55.459
 His soul.

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.339
 To death.

00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:57.779
 And was numbered.

00:28:57.959 --> 00:28:58.919
 With transgressors.

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:00.299
 Yet he bore.

00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:01.119
 The sins of many.

00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:02.599
 And makes intercession.

00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:03.319
 For.

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:04.599
 The transgressors.

00:29:05.159 --> 00:29:06.039
 There are at least.

00:29:06.159 --> 00:29:06.539
 Three ways.

00:29:06.639 --> 00:29:06.939
 We see.

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:07.699
 The triumph.

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:08.700
 The triumph.

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:09.779
 The triumph.

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:10.759
 Of the servant.

00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:12.360
 In overcoming death.

00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:14.140
 And the results.

00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:14.920
 That will follow.

00:29:15.860 --> 00:29:16.700
 In verse 10.

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:17.860
 Look with me.

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:18.420
 There is.

00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:19.640
 When his soul.

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.519
 Makes an offering.

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:21.080
 For guilt.

00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.080
 He shall see.

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:25.160
 His offspring.

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:27.220
 He shall prolong.

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.420
 His days.

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.440
 The will.

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.759
 Of the Lord.

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.799
 Shall prosper.

00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:32.759
 In his hand.

00:29:33.380 --> 00:29:34.019
 The one.

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:34.840
 Who has.

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.779
 Had been dead.

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.640
 Is now alive.

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.360
 The one.

00:29:37.580 --> 00:29:38.220
 Who had been put.

00:29:38.340 --> 00:29:38.500
 In the.

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:39.240
 In the grave.

00:29:39.360 --> 00:29:40.280
 And who had been.

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.240
 Who had been.

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:42.340
 Snuffed out.

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:43.060
 His life.

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:43.880
 Had been cut off.

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.320
 Now.

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:44.620
 He.

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.040
 His days are prolonged.

00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:47.220
 And he is seeing.

00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:47.860
 His offspring.

00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:49.960
 The will of God.

00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:51.240
 Has prospered.

00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:51.759
 In his hand.

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:54.920
 There is a way.

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.780
 To know the heart of God.

00:29:57.780 --> 00:29:58.400
 One way.

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:59.700
 To know the heart of God.

00:29:59.800 --> 00:30:00.720
 Is to understand.

00:30:01.020 --> 00:30:01.460
 His will.

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:04.040
 We see his will.

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:04.440
 Here.

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.759
 In verse 10.

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:07.440
 The will of the Lord.

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:08.140
 To crush.

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:09.200
 His son.

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:12.220
 And not only do we see.

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:13.299
 The will of.

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.339
 The father.

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:15.759
 To crush his son.

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:15.940
 But.

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:18.059
 But the will of the servant.

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:18.759
 Son.

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:19.740
 As well.

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:20.000
 To.

00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:21.420
 To conform himself.

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:22.900
 To the will of the father.

00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:24.299
 And to accomplish.

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.619
 The things.

00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:27.700
 That God had set forth.

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:28.579
 To do.

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:30.579
 It was a will.

00:30:30.579 --> 00:30:31.240
 That God had.

00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:31.759
 Had.

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.920
 Had called out.

00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:33.160
 From.

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.380
 From before eternity.

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.360
 Passed.

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:36.960
 Before the.

00:30:37.060 --> 00:30:37.540
 The earth.

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:37.980
 Had been.

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.820
 Created.

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.680
 It was a will.

00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:41.340
 That we see.

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:41.580
 In.

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:43.040
 In Genesis chapter 3.

00:30:43.060 --> 00:30:43.600
 At the fall.

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:45.620
 It's a will.

00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:45.840
 That.

00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:47.080
 That moves its way.

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.500
 Through.

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:48.320
 The book.

00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:48.900
 Of Isaiah.

00:30:50.060 --> 00:30:50.500
 A will.

00:30:50.580 --> 00:30:51.220
 That we see.

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:54.259
 As Jesus Christ.

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:55.200
 Talks about.

00:30:55.860 --> 00:30:56.480
 Or talks about.

00:30:56.540 --> 00:30:57.360
 His coming death.

00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:58.380
 In resurrection.

00:30:58.600 --> 00:30:59.480
 To his disciples.

00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:00.160
 Jesus.

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.360
 Jesus.

00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:02.000
 Stepped.

00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:03.140
 Into God's will.

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:04.079
 Courageously.

00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:05.640
 Obediently.

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.740
 And faithfully.

00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:08.539
 And he accomplished.

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:09.319
 That will.

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:11.339
 The will.

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:11.900
 Of the God.

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.839
 To crush him.

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.740
 Brought about.

00:31:14.140 --> 00:31:15.120
 A new offspring.

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:17.000
 The servant.

00:31:17.180 --> 00:31:17.680
 Bears.

00:31:18.380 --> 00:31:18.900
 Offspring.

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:21.039
 New life.

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:22.680
 New shoots.

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:24.079
 Not only.

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:25.140
 Offspring of Abraham.

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.599
 But now.

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.839
 Offspring of God.

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:26.879
 God.

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:28.099
 So that.

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:29.259
 The apostle John.

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:29.639
 Can say.

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:30.199
 Behold.

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:33.000
 Behold.

00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.139
 What manner of love.

00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:34.720
 The father.

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:36.279
 Has given to us.

00:31:36.439 --> 00:31:37.679
 That we might be called.

00:31:37.879 --> 00:31:38.240
 Children.

00:31:38.659 --> 00:31:39.279
 Of God.

00:31:40.159 --> 00:31:41.159
 What was broken.

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.199
 In the garden.

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:43.159
 Because of sin.

00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:44.419
 Is now restored.

00:31:44.919 --> 00:31:45.659
 Because of.

00:31:45.879 --> 00:31:46.399
 The peace.

00:31:46.399 --> 00:31:47.459
 That we can have with God.

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.059
 Through.

00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:49.539
 Our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:50.939
 Salvation.

00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:51.659
 Through him.

00:31:51.939 --> 00:31:52.579
 Because of.

00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:53.939
 His work on the cross.

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.019
 Of paying for sin.

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:58.480
 Once for all.

00:31:58.779 --> 00:31:59.180
 Offering.

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.440
 Now.

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:01.259
 Gives us.

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:01.879
 Peace.

00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:02.400
 With him.

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:03.119
 The opportunity.

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:04.119
 For fellowship.

00:32:04.460 --> 00:32:05.079
 The opportunity.

00:32:05.379 --> 00:32:06.339
 To be brought near.

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:08.420
 The opportunity.

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:09.079
 To be called.

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:09.839
 Offspring.

00:32:10.180 --> 00:32:10.779
 Of God.

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:14.240
 God's will.

00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:15.420
 Is accomplished.

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:17.160
 And secondly.

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:17.639
 We find.

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:18.819
 God's soul.

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:20.099
 Is satisfied.

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.019
 Not only.

00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:21.680
 Is God's will.

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.180
 Accomplished.

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:23.240
 But his soul.

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:24.019
 Is satisfied.

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.639
 We find that.

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:25.079
 In verse.

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:25.859
 Eleven.

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:29.500
 Out of the anguish.

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:30.480
 Of his soul.

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:31.900
 He shall see.

00:32:32.379 --> 00:32:33.099
 And be.

00:32:33.879 --> 00:32:34.559
 Satisfied.

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.039
 This is the servant.

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:37.440
 Again.

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:40.059
 No longer dead.

00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:40.779
 But alive.

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:42.680
 Looking at the work.

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:43.720
 That God has accomplished.

00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:45.019
 Through his life.

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:46.039
 The redemption.

00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:47.200
 The forgiveness.

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:47.879
 Of sin.

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.240
 And his soul.

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:50.259
 Delights.

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:51.200
 In the work.

00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:52.900
 Of sacrifice.

00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:55.940
 Redemption.

00:32:55.940 --> 00:32:56.720
 Is secured.

00:32:57.180 --> 00:32:57.720
 Salvation.

00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:58.500
 Is offered.

00:32:58.940 --> 00:32:59.740
 Righteousness.

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:00.519
 Through Christ.

00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:01.259
 To all.

00:33:01.340 --> 00:33:02.200
 Who come in faith.

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:03.640
 A nation.

00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:04.180
 Of Israel.

00:33:04.280 --> 00:33:04.880
 Restored.

00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:06.200
 And the nations.

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.400
 Of the earth.

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:07.960
 Brought near.

00:33:09.560 --> 00:33:10.200
 Victory.

00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:11.360
 Accomplished.

00:33:11.560 --> 00:33:12.040
 Once.

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:12.620
 For all.

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:13.440
 In the life.

00:33:13.820 --> 00:33:14.300
 Death.

00:33:14.780 --> 00:33:15.360
 And resurrection.

00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:16.440
 Of Jesus.

00:33:17.040 --> 00:33:17.519
 Christ.

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:18.300
 Had.

00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:19.120
 Accomplished.

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:19.720
 All.

00:33:19.840 --> 00:33:20.259
 That God.

00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:21.060
 Had set forth.

00:33:21.059 --> 00:33:21.139
 Death.

00:33:22.339 --> 00:33:22.940
 The arm.

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.500
 Of the Lord.

00:33:23.579 --> 00:33:24.139
 Had come.

00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:24.579
 Near.

00:33:24.919 --> 00:33:25.519
 The power.

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:26.019
 Of God.

00:33:26.139 --> 00:33:26.599
 Showed up.

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.379
 In the midst.

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.500
 Of weakness.

00:33:29.399 --> 00:33:29.960
 And finally.

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:31.779
 God's victory.

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:32.879
 Is secured.

00:33:33.399 --> 00:33:34.139
 In verse 12.

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:35.299
 Therefore.

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:36.059
 I will divide.

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:36.440
 With him.

00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:36.899
 A portion.

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.399
 With the many.

00:33:37.399 --> 00:33:38.119
 And he.

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:38.919
 Shall divide.

00:33:39.019 --> 00:33:39.619
 The spoil.

00:33:40.019 --> 00:33:41.359
 With the strong.

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.059
 In the faithfulness.

00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:46.319
 Of the servant.

00:33:47.379 --> 00:33:48.460
 He's descended.

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:49.819
 To the lowest depths.

00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:50.919
 And he has fulfilled.

00:33:50.919 --> 00:33:51.899
 The father's will.

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.619
 Because of that.

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:54.500
 Obedience.

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:56.159
 God will exalt him.

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:57.179
 To the highest place.

00:33:57.939 --> 00:33:58.599
 That's what we find.

00:33:58.679 --> 00:33:59.879
 In Philippians chapter 2.

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:01.639
 He humbled himself.

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:03.179
 And now every knee.

00:34:03.179 --> 00:34:03.700
 Will bow.

00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:04.460
 And every tongue.

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:05.139
 Will confess.

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:06.399
 That Jesus Christ.

00:34:06.399 --> 00:34:06.859
 Is Lord.

00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:07.859
 That is the picture.

00:34:08.380 --> 00:34:09.400
 And now things come.

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:10.039
 Full circle.

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.539
 As we have started.

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:12.980
 In chapter 52.

00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:14.159
 Verse 13.

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:15.619
 This high.

00:34:15.739 --> 00:34:16.480
 And lifted up.

00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:18.039
 One who was humbled.

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:18.579
 Is now.

00:34:18.900 --> 00:34:19.500
 Restored.

00:34:19.619 --> 00:34:20.360
 To glory.

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:21.240
 And majesty.

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:24.240
 All that belongs.

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:24.659
 To him.

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.320
 All that he.

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.360
 All that he.

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:27.179
 Has claimed.

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:28.460
 Is given.

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:29.340
 To him.

00:34:30.219 --> 00:34:31.219
 As a measure.

00:34:31.219 --> 00:34:32.320
 Of the victory.

00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:33.240
 And triumph.

00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:34.380
 That he has secured.

00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:36.800
 God.

00:34:37.019 --> 00:34:37.599
 Had in mind.

00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:38.559
 The bigger objective.

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:40.480
 More than just.

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:41.619
 The temporary comfort.

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:42.280
 Of his people.

00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:43.300
 He had in mind.

00:34:43.579 --> 00:34:44.659
 Their eternal souls.

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:46.279
 He had eternity.

00:34:46.279 --> 00:34:46.699
 In view.

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:48.799
 And this morning.

00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:50.480
 This picture.

00:34:51.059 --> 00:34:52.359
 Of this victory parade.

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:52.699
 Is a.

00:34:52.779 --> 00:34:53.440
 Is a picture.

00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:55.679
 Of what we can participate in.

00:34:56.339 --> 00:34:57.460
 If you are a.

00:34:58.139 --> 00:34:58.859
 A believer.

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.899
 In Jesus Christ.

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:00.779
 If you have.

00:35:01.099 --> 00:35:01.379
 Have.

00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:01.659
 Have.

00:35:01.839 --> 00:35:03.099
 Have put your trust.

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:03.739
 In him.

00:35:05.099 --> 00:35:06.460
 If you have recognized.

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:06.859
 That.

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:07.980
 That the work.

00:35:08.059 --> 00:35:08.539
 Of God.

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:09.079
 In bearing.

00:35:09.399 --> 00:35:10.319
 Your griefs.

00:35:10.319 --> 00:35:10.920
 In carrying.

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:11.819
 Your sorrows.

00:35:11.819 --> 00:35:12.139
 And.

00:35:12.259 --> 00:35:13.420
 And being pierced.

00:35:13.500 --> 00:35:14.539
 For your transgressions.

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:15.059
 Is a work.

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:15.639
 That God.

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:16.360
 Did for you.

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:18.059
 Then you also.

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:18.840
 Can participate.

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:20.219
 In this victory.

 March.

00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.159
 So.

00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:25.940
 How will you respond.

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:26.380
 This morning.

00:35:27.619 --> 00:35:28.719
 Will you be a person.

00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:29.440
 Who believes.

00:35:31.099 --> 00:35:31.960
 A person.

 By faith.

00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:36.599
 Will it be said.

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:37.039
 Of you.

00:35:37.699 --> 00:35:39.000
 Who has believed.

00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:40.079
 A report.

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:41.820
 Or will it be said.

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.199
 Of you.

00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:43.159
 I believe.

00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:44.279
 The report.

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:45.860
 I know.

00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:46.279
 What God.

00:35:46.279 --> 00:35:46.880
 Has accomplished.

00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:47.480
 For me.

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:48.559
 I will live.

00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:49.039

 Of that reality.

00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:53.059
 I will worship.

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:54.099
 My God.

00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:54.619
 Because.

 Let's pray.

 Who faced.

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:06.900
 This.

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:08.199
 Insurmountable.

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.360
 Cost.

00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:10.239
 This suffering.

00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:11.159
 And oppression.

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:13.359
 We praise you.

 What we could not accomplish.

 For ourselves.

 Thank you.
