The "Life" of Jesus - Suffering, Death, Burial

READ Isaiah 53

Who He Was

vv1-3

Questions about Him

His origin

His appearance

Despised, not esteemed; disrespected

What He Did

vv. 4-6

Carried, bore our sin

Israel was rebellious, they should have suffered

This suffering was transferred to the Servant

Took on our consequences, the suffering we were supposed to endure

He took the blame

The graphic nature of crucifixion

Massive congestive heart failure - asphyxiation, separated joints

Why He Died

vv. 7-9

Willingly

So we could be healed (by His stripes, His wounds)

Submitted to death

So we could be healed

Died for our sins

So we could be forgiven, and healed

He took the blame

Buried, a dead, innocent man

And the punishment for our sin was put to death with Him

All you are to do is accept it - trust this sufficient sacrifice

CLOSE

This Friday, began the night before, in Gethsemane

This Friday saw the Savior of the world die on a cross

This Friday ended in a cold, dark tomb
