Isaiah 53: The Sin Bearing Messiah

​​

Good morning, welcome to our Sunday morning Bible Study. This morning, we begin our study of Isaiah 53. This chapter of the Book of Isaiah raises questions, and causes discomfort in the hearts and minds of many people from many different religious factions; not because it is not true, but because these questions and the level of discomfort in the hearts of those who truly received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior over their lives, and those who rejected the very thought of His existence, are about to bump heads. It will resemble two rams who come against one another in battle, in an effort to prove their ultimate dominance and authority.

 

The sacrificial Lamb, provided by the Lord God Himself, is proven to be the only one who rose up with all dominion, authority, and power over all God created. He truly is the last and final sacrifice. Though the scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments support what is written by the prophet Isaiah; in many of the so called holy books held by many religious denominations, there is one irrefutable truth which cannot be denied, and that truth is that Jesus Christ did indeed walk this earth during the time period spoken of in scripture, and was crucified on the cross. He came to His own and His own did not receive Him.

 

There were many who witnessed the event of that period; they wrote and spoke about the encounters they had with Jesus Christ during his life, after his death, after His resurrection, and yes; even after His ascension. In this study, we will have the opportunity to read, discuss in great detail, and build a very strong case for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; not that He needs a case to be built. You see we who truly believe in Him need no proof of any of this; our faith and belief in the One God sent, and all God accomplished through Him, is all we need.

 

Before all is said and done, everyone will have an opportunity to come to the knowledge of the truth of our God as was told to us through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, and through His chosen prophets. We will do this by rightly dividing the gospel of truth as it is written.

 

Again, the question is posed to us all; what does your faith truly convince you of (2 Corinthians 5:1-8; Hebrews 11:1-40; Hebrews 3:1-11? Let us settle this once and for all in our heart, mind, and soul today; so that we are no longer tossed to and fro by any strange doctrines and beliefs intended to keep us away from what we should know and believe about the only true and Living God of whom we serve.

• Matthew 26:57-67 (...the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death)

• John 19:1-24 (Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands)

What Must I Do to Be Saved?

​

1. Recognize, and admit, that you are a sinner; we are all sinners (Romans 3:23).

2. Repent of your sin (Matthew 4:16-17; Acts 3:19-21); turn away from sin, and turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

3. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is:

​

• The only begotten Son of God; who died on the cross to pay for our sins (John 3:16-17).

• God raised Him from the dead on the third day after his death (1 Corinthians 15:4; Matthew 28:1-10).

• God ascended Jesus Christ into heaven, where he is now seated at the right hand of God as High Priest and Ruler over His people (John 3:13; Matthew 26:64; Mark 16:19; Luke 22:69; Hebrews 8:1-2; Acts 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:18-21).

• Pray a prayer of Salvation (confess with your mouth and believe in your heart – Romans 10:8-10):

 

Lord, I recognize and admit that I am a sinner. I confess with my mouth, and I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and by his blood I have been redeemed. I believe that by the blood of Jesus Christ, I am healed, sealed, and delivered into Your hands God.

 

Lord, I believe that on the third day, You raised Jesus from the dead, that he ascended into heaven, that all power and authority is given to him in the earth, beneath the earth, and in heaven. Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is seated at Your right hand, and that he reigns and rules as Lord, King, and High Priest over Your people. I desire to be a child of the Most-High God, to be adopted into Your family. Heavenly Father, I am choosing in this day to repent of my sins, and return to You. I receive Your free gift of Salvation, I receive Jesus Christ in my heart as Lord, King, and Saviour over my life. Jesus, you are the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings.

 

I ask that you come into my heart now, save me, change me in my heart and in my mind; transform me Lord, take hold of all that I am; so that I may become one with you and one with the Lord our God. Father, I thank You for saving me, I thank you for your Son Jesus, I thank you for inclining Your ear to hear my prayer. These things I pray, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. Amen.

​

Now That I've Accepted Jesus Christ, What's Next?

​

Be baptized for the remission of sin, receive the Holy Spirit of God, and forsake not the assembling of yourselves; begin to connect with other born-again believers (Hebrews 10:24-25; Proverbs 27:17; Acts 2:40-47). We are the children of the Most-High God (Romans 8:14-17); we are forever sealed, and we are set aside for God’s own purpose (1 Peter 2:9; Deuteronomy 14:2; Psalm 4:3; 1 John 4:4-6). We know it is Jesus Christ who set us free, and it is by his blood that God sealed His last covenant with His people (Hebrews 8:6-13; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).  As God’s messengers of hope in the earth, we are commissioned to deliver the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are lost.

 

We are to show people that the Light of Glory still shines in the earth, even in this day.  Where there is light, there is a straight path that leads to that light (John 14:6; John 1:1-5); it is a path wherein darkness will never ever prevail, and where darkness can never hide (Matthew 4:16; John 8:12).  Now that you have accepted Jesus Christ in your heart, as Lord and Saviour, your next step is discipleship.

 

We invite you to join us in this journey to Christ; come, learn, and grow with us. Learn more about Jesus Christ, and grow in the grace of our God. Get to know truth of God’s word, God’s true purpose in your life, and His intent for those who belong to Him (Jeremiah 29:11-13; Romans 8:28). As you begin to grow in the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of our Lord; you’ll begin to know and realize how you fit into the glorious plan of our Father, as one of His chosen (Ephesians 1:3-14).  

 

Jesus commissioned us to continue the work he started back then with the original twelve (Matthew 10:1-4).  The work Jesus started back then continues forth, even today; through those who have been chosen of God through Christ our Lord. As born-again believers, our purpose in Christ is simple: bring souls to Christ through the teaching, preaching, and ministering of God’s Holy Word; and through the spreading of the good news of the gospel of Christ.

 

In our studies of the scriptures, we find that Jesus Christ demonstrates to us how to win souls to him; he also teaches us about the Kingdom of Heaven, about the ways of His Father, who is also our Father (our God), and about the Holy Spirit of God who lives within all those who have been born again in Christ.  Soul winning is the very heartbeat of our God. In this journey to Christ, you will learn about all of these things and more.

 

The invitation is extended to you personally, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Will you come?
