Isaiah 53 speaks of the Messiah, Jesus, who would suffer for the sins of all the people. Such a prophecy, written nearly 700 years before the crucifixion, is astounding! Who would believe that God would choose to save the world through a humble, suffering servant rather than a glorious king? The idea is contrary to human pride and worldly thinking, but God often works in unexpected ways. On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Matt read Chapter 53 of Isaiah to set the stage for his message on 5 Realities—things we know to be true. Jesus tells us in John 14:6 that, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus is truth.
