ג – Vital Truths
Review from part 1:
“If Yeshua is so good, then why did he die on a tree, like a common criminal?”
2 Corinthians 5:21
It was necessary for Messiah to suffer innocently and to be wrongly assumed guilty
Yeshua: The Suffering Servant Part 2
Isaiah 53 – Problem for non-Messianic Judaism
Answering Objections to The Suffering Servant Theme in Isaiah
Objection 1 – You Paint the Picture of 2 Messiahs
- We believe that Yeshua the Messiah came the first time to die for our sins as a humble Servant
- He will return a second time to reign as king.
Isaiah 53:4–6
Objection 2 – The Nation of Israel is the fulfillment of Isaiah 53
1. Israel is not an innocent sufferer, as is the individual described in the passage.
Isaiah 53:9–12
2. Israel is not a silent sufferer, as is the individual described in the passage.
Isaiah 53:7
3. Israel never died, as did the individual described in the passage.
Isaiah 53:8
4. The text points to the suffering of an individual, not a nation.
Isaiah 53:4
5. Instead, the nation of Israel is the beneficiary of the Servant’s sacrifice.
Isaiah 53:11–12
The subject of Isaiah 53 simply cannot be Israel as a nation.
Acts 8:26–35
