Suffering Servant

Text: Isaiah 53:1-12
Title: Suffering Servant

Our Rescuer:
1) Nothing about His appearance would draw us to Him.
2) He would love us when we didn't love Him back.
3) He would suffer in our place.
4) Peace and healing are found in His suffering.

The peace and healing we long for are found in belief and trust in Jesus, our suffering servant.

The suffering servant should help you trust the Bible and believe in who Jesus is.
