Isaiah 52 and 53 are two chapters of seeming contradiction that move from victory to the LORD's servant to being killed and buried. Isaiah 53 ends with what can only be answered in the resurrection. It does not take creative back reading to see that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of Isaiah 53. Jesus is the fulfillment of all of our hopes. He has borne our griefs that we might be reconciled to God

It is vital that we look to Christ and Isaiah urges us to "Behold his [the LORD's] servant."

Sometimes we have to look back to look forward. In this sermon, we go back 700 years before the coming of Jesus to see Isaiah's joy filled anticipation of the coming of Jesus. Let you hearts join in praise towards God as we look back to Jesus' first coming and wait for His second coming.

If you find that you praise and thanksgiving to God is weak, let me urge you to look again to the unbelievable kindness of God shown through Jesus Christ.

Honor and thanksgiving to God keep our lives "right" in this world. If we turn from God our lives will lose center and be adrift with no anchor.
