Today With Jesus

In this episode, Dan Winkler and Robert begin a powerful new mini-series exploring seven specific New Testament passages that quote or allude to Isaiah 53. Today, we look at the first two references: Matthew 8:17 and Luke 22:37.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, we conclude our two-part look at “The Blessings of the Suffering Servant” by turning to Isaiah 53:12 — a verse that reveals one of Jesus’ most comforting and ongoing blessings: His intercession.

Isaiah’s prophecy shows that the Servant not only bore the sins of many, but now “makes intercession for the transgressors.” The blessing of intercession means Jesus didn’t just save us at the cross — He continues to stand for us, speak for us, and advocate for us before the Father.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, we continue our study through Isaiah 53 by exploring “The Blessings of the Suffering Servant.” From these powerful verses, we discover two life-changing blessings that flow from the suffering of Jesus: Redemption and Justification.

Isaiah 53:10–11 reveals the heart of God’s redemptive plan — that through the anguish of His soul, the Servant would bring salvation to many. His suffering was not accidental; it was purposeful, leading to our freedom and righteousness before God.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, Dan Winkler and Robert Hatfield continue their walk through Isaiah 53 by exploring the often-overlooked yet profoundly significant burial of Jesus. Though brief, Isaiah 53:9 captures the paradox of the Suffering Servant—treated as a criminal, yet buried with the rich; condemned by men, yet vindicated by God.

Jesus’ burial wasn’t just a closing scene—it was a vital part of the gospel story (1 Corinthians 15:3–4). His body was laid in a borrowed tomb, fulfilling prophecy and proving both His death and His sinless character. Even in death, God’s sovereign plan was unfolding perfectly.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, Dan Winkler and Robert Hatfield continue their study through Isaiah 53 — one of the most vivid and moving prophecies of the Messiah’s suffering. In verses 5–8, Isaiah describes the brutal reality of the Servant’s beatings — not only His physical pain, but the deep spiritual purpose behind it all.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, Robert Hatfield and Dan Winkler continue their journey through Isaiah 53, turning their focus to “The Burden of the Suffering Servant.”

From the pen of Isaiah and the heart of prophecy, we see Jesus—our Suffering Servant—carrying not only the sins of others but also their pain, sorrow, and rejection. In this study, Robert and Dan explore two powerful truths:

1. The Affliction of Others — The Servant came to minister to those who were burdened, broken, and hurting. He entered our suffering to lift us from it.
2. The Rejection of the Servant — Despite His compassion, the world turned away. Yet through His rejection came our redemption.

Through rich Scripture discussion and practical reflection, this episode helps listeners feel the emotional and spiritual weight of what Jesus bore on our behalf—and invites us to respond with gratitude, faith, and deeper love for Him.

In this episode of Today With Jesus, we turn to the profound words of Isaiah 53:1–2, where the prophet describes the physical presence of God’s Servant. Rather than coming with outward beauty, status, or earthly strength, the Servant appears humble, ordinary, and even despised. Yet it is through this very humility that God’s power and salvation are revealed.

The prophet Isaiah points our eyes forward to the Servant of the Lord—a figure who would come to accomplish God’s will in a way no one expected. Isaiah 52:13–15 sets the stage for one of the most moving and powerful passages in all of Scripture: Isaiah 53.

In this season premiere of Today With Jesus, Dan and Robert introduce the book of Isaiah, laying the foundation for a deep study of Isaiah 53. This pivotal chapter prophesies the suffering, sacrifice, and ultimate victory of the Messiah. As they explore the historical and spiritual context of Isaiah’s message, they highlight its significance in pointing to Jesus as the “Special Servant.”

The episode concludes in Acts 8, where a man was reading from this very chapter of Isaiah. His encounter with Philip provides a powerful real-life example of how Isaiah’s prophecy led directly to Jesus.

What inspires you to worship? In this episode of Today With Jesus, Dan and Robert dive into Hebrews 13:15 and Revelation 4-5 to explore how Jesus fuels the heart of true worship. We’ll unpack what it means to bring a “sacrifice of praise” to God and take a closer look at the awe-inspiring heavenly scenes of worship revealed in the book of Revelation.
