My servant will succeed. My servant will prosper. He will act so wisely and perform such a magnificent act of

substitutionary

Atonement that he will succeed in his saving purposes

When Jesus Christ bore our sins on the cross

There was no chance his suffering for our sake would fail

In this episode of light and truth John Piper begins a three-part series on the suffering servant in Isaiah 53

This sermon was originally preached at Bethlehem Baptist Church on March 14th, 1993

Nowhere in all the Old Testament as the gospel of Jesus come through is

beautifully and is brightly powerfully I think

As it does here in Isaiah

53

700 years before it happened

The Lord told the story of his son's death

And so what I want you to see as we look at Isaiah 53 and part of Isaiah 52

This morning is both a beautiful revelation of the work of Christ and

also a very powerful

validation of the truth of that salvation because it was written 700 years before the event

So it's a wonderful thing when you can see the gospel opened for you as a

Revelation and have the very

positioning of it

700 years before it happened to be a

validation in the midst of the revelation
