1) In Isaiah 53, God is communicating to us about His suffering servant. This passage gives us insight to what is to happen to Jesus when He comes to the earth to take on our sins. The people of this time may not have known what a huge prophecy this passage was to one day fulfill, but we living in the days since Christ's coming can easily see that this is a foreshadowing of what is to come in the life of Jesus.
2) In Isaiah 53, God is communicating several things about Himself. In verse one He is telling us that He can be revealed to us. In verses four and five, He is telling us that He bore our griefs and sorrows and that He has the power to heal us when it says He took up our pain and by His wounds we are healed. Verse six tells us that God willingly allowed our

Verse one tells us that man can have some understanding of God, by what God reveals to Him. In verse two God is communicating that man often judges the appearance of man, we see this in verse two when it says that He had no beauty of majesty to attract us to Him. In verse three tells us a lot about how man often relates to God. Many men often reject God and try to do things on their own. In verse four, God is communicating about the griefs and sorrows that men have. In verse five, what is being communicated is that we can have peace and be healed. Another example of what God is teaching us about man is in verse six which is teaching us about how man sins against God.
4) Isaiah 53 fits into the book of Isaiah because the overall message of Isaiah is that Yahweh is salvation. The entire passage of Isaiah 53 is about the Lord’s will in Jesus coming to die, through Jesus death we have salvation. Also, there are several themes that undergird the central message these are the themes of judgement and redemption. In Isaiah 53 we see both, the judgement for our sins is being put onto Jesus and the redemption for our sins is coming from

    Wednesday, pgs 105-110: The question was answered to who crucified Jesus and why, but there is one more question that is more spiritual… What was the meaning to all of it? God, of course, could have stopped Jesus from being killed, and so Jesus could have if he proclaimed himself as the Son of God. There is a deeper meaning to Jesus’ Passion and death- he did it for humanity! He died on the suffered and died on the cross so that humanity could be saved from the horrors of death.…

    Sandra “Kaitlyn” Stewart 1. Isaiah 53 God is communicating that as Christ was growing up He was the lowest of the lows.

    Jonathan Edward’s abrasive imagery preaches a dramatic shift for the peoples’ actions and lives with examples such as “dreadful pit of the glowing flames” and “wrath of god would rush forth with an inconceivable fury.” Edwards employs imagery laden scenes highlighting both the negatives and positives of God’s will. The sermon addresses a need for the general population to have a movement towards greater embracement of God’s almighty will. With the passages he invokes this movement by demonstrating God’s power through the wrath and fury that will descend upon the sinners who do not “embrace the majesty of God.” He elaborates upon visions of the pits of hill through ideas such as “plunge into the bottomless gulf.”…

They each talk about the Son of Man suffering at the hands of other men and eventually dying then being resurrected after three days. Additionally, they also talk about how his followers were unable to comprehend what he was saying.

    It explains Jesus’s role on Earth. He is announcing the coming of the Kingdom of God. Thus Bartholomew and Goheen go on to say, “Thus with the background of Isaiah Jesus proclaims to the Jews the fulfillment of the good news of the prophet Isaiah. At the same time with the language of the imperial cult he announces to the Roman world that the good news for the world began not with Caesar Augustus but with Jesus the Jewish Messiah, the true Son of God (144).” By this Jesus then shows not just the Jewish faith, but also the world that the Kingdom of God was on Earth.…

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all seven chapters of Philip Yancey’s book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture.…

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
