A. HE SUFFERED FOR US “This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” (Matthew 8:17) Leper, Centurion Servant, Peter’s Mother -In-Law, Demon Oppressed, & Healing All Who Were Sick

I PETER 2:24 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. ”

B. HE WAS SHAMED FOR US “For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: And he was numbered with the transgressors. For what is written about me has its fulfillment” (Luke 23:37).

ACTS 8:33 “In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.”

C. HE WAS SILENT FOR US “Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth” (Acts 8:32).

EXAMPLES OF HIS SILENCE “But Jesus remained silent” (Matthew 26:53) “But he remained silent and made no answer” (Mark 14:61) “He gave no answer” (Matthew 27:12) “But Jesus gave him no answer” (John 19:9)

JOHN 10:17-18 “For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father. ”

D. HE WAS SINLESS FOR US “He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in in his mouth” (I Peter 2:22). “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (II Corinthians 5:21).

II. MY SERVANT IS OUR SALVATION A. He Will Be Rejected (John 12:37-38) “Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

ROMANS 10:16 “But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord who has believed what he has heard from us?” Thankful for “Not All” & “Not Many”

B. HE WILL BE RECEIVED “And thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, those who have never been told will see, and those who have never heard will understand” (Romans 15:20-21).

JOHN MACARTHUR “Jesus is the central figure in all the typology and prophecies of the Old T estament. But nowhere is that more obvious than right here in Isaiah 53. ”
