Summary

Isaiah 53:3–7 Our culture lionizes the powerful, the aggressive, and the bold. Meekness is mistaken for weakness, and silence under pressure is seen as defeat. But centuries before the cross, Isaiah described a Servant who would be despised, rejected, and silent—and through whose wounds we would be healed. Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 53:3–7 to show how Jesus fulfilled the portrait of the suffering Servant—the Lamb who went to slaughter in silence, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows as our substitute. Find your hope in the Lamb who was slain for you. True strength is not the absence of suffering but the willingness to bear it for others.

0:00.0	There's a question that echoes across the centuries, first asked by a puzzled young man climbing a mountain with his father carrying firewood.
0:17.0	Remember the scene? Isaac asked his dad, where's the lamb? It is in many ways the question
0:24.0	the entire Old Testament is asking, and the answer, when it finally comes, is staggering. Today,

0:36.9	all the way to a moment beside the Jordan River when a voice cut through the crowd and said behold the Lamb of God
0:50.6	Thank you our Father that your son is our Savior, and that he, like a shepherd, leads us.
1:02.0	And because we are only sheep, we tend to go our own way.
1:06.0	We've read of that, but we knew before we read it that this is true all we like sheep have gone
1:13.2	astray we have turned each one of us to his own way thank you for laying all of our
1:23.1	iniquity on another for we could never have paid our own way into heaven. Thank you that
1:31.3	Jesus paid it all. And we rest in his finished work this day. We worship our Savior, Jesus Christ.
1:43.0	We magnify his name. We meet around His Word. We sing his songs. We would
1:50.3	glorify His name, whether by life or by death. Today there are many who hurt. They grieve. They live with sorrows that have been brought on by this earth's catastrophes and heartaches and brokenness. I pray, Lord, that you will bring comfort and hope and reassurance from what is declared this day. Comfort and guide them into decisions that need to be made.
2:25.3	And if it's to wait, may they make that decision as well. Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.

2:39.0	They will run and not be weary.
2:41.0	They will not faint as they walk on.
2:47.0	There are those who have lost their way and attempting to find their way back to you, they have come to this house of worship.
2:54.6	I pray that you will guide very clearly as they discover the path that leads to peace through faith in your son.
3:06.6	Some come this day, rejoicing, your hand has been good to them and you've provided abundantly
3:14.3	and we with them rejoice and are grateful for your provision.
3:20.3	Thank you for those who you have healed. Thank you for those whom you have given new hope.
