Lesson Of The Hour

Seven hundred years before Jesus, Isaiah revealed the Servant who was pierced for transgressions and crushed for the iniquities of all. The LORD laid on him the iniquity of all, because all like sheep have gone astray. People rejected and despised this Servant. Men hid their faces from Him. However, He healed others by His wounds. His appearance was marred beyond human semblance, and God exalted Him. These are ancient prophecies of the Christ, the Suffering Servant. Faith comes from hearing these words (Rom 10:16–17). This is the Gospel. This is the power of God unto salvation. This lesson urges the listener to be crucified with Christ and take the Gospel to heart.Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:5-11 (read by Barry Rutkowski)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded March 5, 2017 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
