(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Sorrow To Joy
a) He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3).
b) Isaiah Chapter 53 is the prophecy of the Suffering Servant, who is none other than Jesus Christ.
c) How do we know that Isaiah 53 is speaking about Jesus Christ? The Ethiopian Treasurer was reading this chapter. He asked Phillip, “Of whom does the prophet speak?” Then Phillip preached to him Jesus. (Acts 8:26-40)
d) The sorrow portrayed in Isaiah 53 is sorrow that turns into joy.
2. Guilt To Forgiveness
a) Our sorrow in sin can be replaced by our justification and forgiveness.
b) "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned - every one - to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6).
c) "As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities" (Isaiah 53:11).
d) "Righteousness will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification" (Romans 4:24-25).
