The Substituted Servant, Pt 2

Now, let's open the Word of God to the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah. This is our sixth journey into this marvelous chapter and with every passing week as I survey the text that is here and all of the trails that it leads to other places, I am reminded of how fathomless this chapter really is. One could spend a lifetime here and going from here to all of the things that are implied and elucidated by this great chapter.Isaiah 53 poses a challenge to any preacher and that is to edit himself so that it does not become overly cumbersome and you miss the main point. I'm fighting against that a little bit. I'm further challenged because I normally prepare to have a beginning and an end and a middle, a whole sermon--I did last week--and to cover verses 4 through 6. I didn't make it. I got through verses 4 and 5, two thirds of the way, but we didn't have enough time for verse 6. So I have sort of a third of a message left. Well that presents to me is a great opportunity then to fill in with things that are really needful and related and I think helpful. It allows me to take a tangent of necessity rather than whim. And I'm going to do that with you a little bit this morning. . . .
