God is My Salvation – Message 66 – The Shunned Servant – Isaiah 53:1-3. Overview: 1) The Enigma (52:13-15) – how can one so humiliated and debased become so exalted? 2) Testimony (53:1-9) – human witness based on divine revelation shows the facts and meaning of the Servant’s suffering and death. 3) The Solution (53:10-12) – demonstrates the experiences of the Servant as explained from the divine perspective.
Introduction: A message revealed. Who could believe that this one, with his birth and early life and his unimpressive appearance was the “Arm of the Lord?” No wonder he was despised – just look at him! Every avenue along which, by nature, we might arrive at the truth and respond to God is closed. Nothing but divine revelation can make the Servant known to us and draw us to Him.
