Summary

If you’re reading through the book of Isaiah, you get to this passage and you’re shocked. Up until now, Isaiah indicates that God’s going to send a great king to put things right in the world. Then Isaiah starts talking about a servant. But then, here in chapter 52 and 53, he says this person has no majesty. He has no majesty? Well, who is this? It’s surprising and it’s shocking. It subverts every human category of thought about salvation. Let’s look at three ways in which it’s so surprising, and see what this teaches about the salvation Jesus Christ brings. Let’s notice 1) the ordinariness, 2) the violence, and 3) the vicariousness. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 21, 2016. Series: Bible: What We Are Receiving: The Gospel Goods. Scripture: Isaiah 52:13-53:12.

0:25.2	Some of his teachings can be difficult to understand or accept.
0:28.8	Today Tim Keller is teaching through one of the hard sayings of Jesus, showing us that

1:05.6	He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
1:09.5	Just as there were many who were appalled at him, his appearance was so disfigured beyond
1:14.1	that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness.
1:18.9	So he will sprinkle many nations and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
1:24.4	After what they were told, they will see and for what they have not heard, they will understand.
1:29.7	Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
