Let’s Share the WordKey Texts: Isaiah 50:4-10; 52:13-15; 53: 1-12.

Themes to Explore1. The Messiah is the redeemer, the humble King, the Creator and the suffering Servant. 2. In Isaiah the Servant-Messiah, humiliated and exalted, is lifted up on the cross for me and put to death, but

then returns to life. 3. Punished and humiliated, mortally wounded in our place, but victorious.
