Calvary Baptist Church - Canyon Texas - David Crump, Pastor

God refers to Himself over and over again as the Holy One of Israel, The God of Jacob, The Lord your God. He identifies Himself in intimate relationship with Israel. Even though they forgot him, even though they fell deep into sin and chose idols over Him. God will not abandon us. He will not forsake us. He will not forget us. Isaiah 49:15-16 Isaiah was written 700 years before Jesus' birth. He was given greater revelation from God about the suffering and death of Jesus than any other prophet. The description of Jesus' suffering is shockingly detailed as God'sSuffering Servant. It is also shocking to hear that God's plan was to use His Servant's suffering to take away our sin. This is what sacrifices were for: lambs, rams, dove, not people. Isaiah 53:1-3 He was despised and rejected Isaiah 53:4-6 He took our sins upon Himself Jesus bore our sin and brokenness and brought us peace and healing by his suffering. Isaiah 53:7-9 He suffered and was killed unjustly Isaiah 53:10-12 This is God's plan to save
