07 Why God Let His Servant Suffer (Isaiah 52:13-53:6)

Many Christians struggle to believe God loves them personally, even after years of faith. This sermon explores Isaiah 52:13–53:6, the most quoted Old Testament passage in the New Testament, to show how the Suffering Servant's is the Messiah and his sacrifice proves God's individual, unshakable love for you.This week we explore:Why the Suffering Servant was rejected by his own people despite fulfilling prophecyHow Jesus bore your griefs, sorrows, and sins in your placeWhy the nations who never heard the promises embraced the Messiah while Israel rejected himWhat the Servant's disfigurement and suffering reveal about the cost of your redemptionHow God's plan turned rejection into the greatest display of love in historyWhy dying for your enemy is a greater act of love than dying for your childHow Romans 5 connects Christ's sacrifice to your assurance of salvationBy the end of this message you will understand why Christ's suffering is the ultimate proof of God's personal love for you. You will feel the weight of what it cost to redeem you and you will be able to trust that if God loved you enough to die for you while you were his enemy, he will certainly love you enough to carry you through the rest of your days as his child. Series: Isaiah: Servant SongsMost people fail at Bible study because no one ever taught them how.
