Rebels from the Wilderness, pt. 6 - The Death of the Servant

Passage: Isaiah 53:7-9They rejected Him! Friends turned their backs on Him. The government washed its hands of Him. The Pharisees lied about Him. The soldiers beat Him. The crowd spit on Him. How great the injustice that points to the injustice of the Gospel.Key Takeaways:The Servant's death was God's will—His life wasn't taken from Him; it was given for you.Jesus' perfection in living allowed His death to meet the substitutionary standards of God.Because Christ's death wasn't the end of His story, our death doesn't have to be the end of ours.Christ holds the keys to heaven.Grace is powerful—but stop testing it and commit already.Through Christ, death leads to life; you must die to self.Your sin struggle does not have to define you.Willing obedience is the key to exaltation—Christ gave God what God wanted most: the possibility of you.
