Willful sin demands a willing substitute. That substitute has to be one that was without spot or blemish, a perfect sacrifice. That is what our willful sin demands, and Christ is the lamb without blemish who willfully was led to the slaughter in our stead.

Christian unique makes sense of suffering. Christ, the suffering servant, gives both meaning and hope to suffering. He himself suffered for us.

We continue our series through the servant songs of Isaiah, "The Satisfied Servant." In this passage we began to see how the Servant is a comforting servant.

God has not left us without a word in a time of uncertainty and distress, in fact, most of God's word speaks in times of uncertainty and distress. It is through God word that we can reflect Christ's power, hence in our weakness Christ is strong.

Bad news comes before the good news. That is the message of Isaiah and the message of the Bible. It deals honestly with sin and the solution to sin. When we look at the true Servant we see the greatest news ever, as believers, our names are engraved upon the palms of the Savior's hands.
