Unto Us Is Born A Sacrifice (Isaiah 52:13-53:12)

Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition of Isaiah 52:13-53:12, examining the prophetic portrait of the Messiah who was born a sacrifice for humanity's sin. This message explores the dual nature of Christ's mission—living and dying as a man while simultaneously living and dying for men as their substitutionary sacrifice. Osman traces the biographical pattern revealed in Isaiah's prophecy: Christ's pre-existent glory, his humiliation through suffering and death, and his ultimate exaltation.The teaching emphasizes that Jesus was born a sacrifice, destined from eternity to bear the iniquities of many and make intercession for transgressors. Through careful exegesis, Osman demonstrates how Isaiah prophesied the Servant's physical suffering, the marring of his appearance beyond recognition, and his voluntary submission to God's will. This Christmas message reveals that Christ was uniquely born a sacrifice—not merely to live among us, but to die for us, accomplishing the redemption that only a perfect, sinless substitute could achieve for guilty sinners. ★ Support this podcast ★
