Summary

Isaiah 52 is the best chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross. We know that because the New Testament writers were constantly referring back to it. It was the basis for their understanding of what happened on the cross. As I stand as a preacher before this text, I not only see too much in it to tell you, I feel too much about it to express to you. Therefore, I want to give you a due sense of the solemnity of this text. I want you to exercise the mental equivalent of taking your shoes off, because this is a holy place. Looking at each of the five stanzas, it teaches us to 1) understand the mixture, 2) accept the ordinariness, 3) realize the magnitude of the love, 4) commit to justice, 5) live out of and live off of the principle. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 21, 2010. Series: The Songs of the Servant (from Isaiah). Scripture: Isaiah 52:13-53:12.

0:00.0	Welcome to Gospel in Life.
0:05.0	If someone asked you what Jesus' mission on Earth was, what would you say?
0:09.0	Today Tim Keller is preaching from the Book of Isaiah to help us understand the mission and
0:14.0	purpose of Christ while he was on earth and how it can transform our lives today.
0:19.3	Thank you for joining us. 13 through chapter 53 verse 12. See my servant will act wisely. He will be
0:37.7	raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him, his appearance was so disfigured
0:46.0	beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness, so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
0:57.7	For what they were not told they will see, and what they have not heard they will understand.
1:05.0	Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
1:10.0	He grew up before him like a tender shoot and like a root at a dry ground.
1:17.0	He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing and his appearance that we should desire him.
1:24.6	He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering.
1:32.8	Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
1:40.2	Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows.
1:45.0	Yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted.
1:51.0	But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities.
1:57.0	The punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray. Each of us has turned to his own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
2:15.0	He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth.
2:22.0	He was led like a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before
2:26.1	her shears is silent. So he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away and who can speak of his descendants
2:37.2	for he was cut off from the land of the living for the transgression of my people
2:42.0	he was stricken.
