The Saving Suffering of the Son

The Saving Suffering of the Son

Isaiah 53

Take-Home Truth: Jesus suffered judgment, so we do not have to.

Christ-Connection: Because of Christ’s perfect life, he died a perfect death as a blameless sacrifice.

Hook: (Ice-breaker question. Get the group talking!)

1. Has anyone ever taken the blame for you? How did it feel?

Engage: (Observe the passage and engage with the text)

2.Read Isaiah 53 – what stood out to you about The Suffering Servant?

 Reflect: (Reflect upon the key take-aways from the sermon)

3. How did the circumstances that Jesus was born into (the pressure of obscurity) work

against Him? How does it work against you?

4. Isaiah 53:2, is our love for Christ based on the Churches physical attributes? Does our

attraction to celebrities, hinder our ability to seek/find/know Jesus? Give examples..

Respond: (Apply the truths of God’s Word to your heart, affections, and actions)

5. Give examples of how Jesus was despised and rejected by men. Are you facing rejection

in your own life as you share your faith? 7 of 10 unchurched Americans say Christians

have never shared their faith with them. (Lifeway Research – Christians do not share

faith with unchurched friends)

6. Christ’s death was brutal.
7. How was his death voluntary? Isaiah 53:7
8. How was his death perfect? Isaiah 53:9
9. How was his death controlled? Matthew 27:57
10. How was his death vicarious? Isaiah 53:5-6
