The Suffering Servant - Isaiah 53:4-12

He was pierced for our transgressions

he was crushed for our iniquities

the punishment that brought us peace was upon him

and by his wounds we are healed...

Isaiah 53, 'The Suffering Servant' passage is one of the clearest and most powerful Messianic prophecies in the whole of the Old Testament.

It speaks of God's servant taking on himself ALL aspects of humanity's brokenness, pain and suffering...in order that we might be healed.
