Who Has Believed Our Report? The Gospel According to Isaiah 53

The book of Isaiah contains the most vivid and detailed description of the work of Messiah displayed in the Hebrew Bible. Written seven hundred years before the time of Jesus, it portrays the Servant of the Lord as one who willfully suffers a painful and deplorable death, despised and rejected, a man of sorrow and grief. This foretold suffering plays a pivotal role in God's plan of redemption. Yet Isaiah begins with the rhetorical question "Who has believed our report?" In these uncertain times it is more vital than ever to understand why the work of Messiah on the cross is the foundation of our faith - and why the Enemy is so focused on marginalizing and obscuring this essential truth. This message explores the message of the cross at its roots - and explains why followers of Jesus must defend it at any cost.
