Isaiah 53 - Who's Going to Believe This?
Isaiah 53 is actually reflecting back on this whole theme throughout the whole Hebrew Bible and putting a really powerful imagery to it. It's a perfect setup for the gospels and how this theme is carried forward in the stories Jesus. The God of Israel, the God of creation, universe has associated himself with the lowly and the suffering to save the universe. He that is the servant went grew up like a shoot. There's that word from Isaiah 11, like a little plant or branch before him like a root from dry ground,. But he the servant had no form or majesty that we should see him and no appearance that we would take pleasure in him.
