Sermon: Our Interceding Servant

“Our Interceding Servant” Isaiah 53:10-12 April 23, 2017 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Isaiah 53:10-12 [10] Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him;             he has put him to grief;             when his soul makes an offering for guilt,             he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;             the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. [11] Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;             by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,             make many to be accounted righteous,             and he shall bear their iniquities. [12] Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,             and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,             because he poured out his soul to death             and was numbered with the transgressors;             yet he bore the sin of many,             and makes intercession for the transgressors.   The finished work of Christ on the Cross is the basis for Jesus’ ministry for His people now.  What Christ has done: Propitiation, resurrection, satisfaction, justification and exaltation (10-11)  What Christ is doing now: Intercession (12)
