"Jesus Is" (Part 3)

Here are the 12 observations given this morning from Isaiah 52:13-53:12.

1. The exaltation and humiliation of the Servant points to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
2. The suffering of the Servant will be so great that he will not be recognized as human.
3. The suffering of the Servant will result in world-wide influence.
4. The suffering of the Servant will be misunderstood apart from a revelation from God.
5. The Servant suffered in our place.
6. We tend to be indifferent/unmoved/calloused at his efforts.
7. We have our own self-centered agendas.
8. The Servant's suffering was voluntary and undeserved.  
9. The suffering work of the Servant was the will of God.
10. The suffering work of the Servant pleased God.
11. The suffering work of the Servant provides the way to accepted righteousness.
12. The suffering Servant is Jesus Christ and he came to take your place.  Jesus is your substitute.
