The Servant's Rejection

Isaiah 52:13-53:6 | The Gospel According to Isaiah | Trent Hunter Things are not always as they seem. Jesus did not seem to be all that much to those who looked on him in his life. When he was young, he wasn't that special. Who would expect a boy to be the answer to the world's problems? His sufferings in life only seemed to confirm the obvious: that this was not our man. Some said he was a blasphemer. Some said he was a common criminal. Others said he was a troublemaker. To some who hoped for more, he was another failed prophet. But his rejection by us turned out to be a rejection for us. Who would have known? None of us apart from the revelation of God concerning his Servant in Isaiah 52:13–53:6.
