The Meaning of Jesus

Preacher: Kevin Nelson Series: Isaiah Scripture: Isaiah 52:13– 53:12

Takeaway: Searching for a way to make Jesus more acceptable, many people have tried to understand him on their own terms. They’ve made him an activist, a teacher, or a role model.

Isaiah 53, however, forcefully rejects our attempts to redefine Jesus. It confronts us with a Servant whose purpose is startlingly clear: He has come to die for our sins. What is more difficult to accept: that we need saving or that we cannot save ourselves?
