About this Book:
|
|
Isaiah fifty-three has been called "The fifth gospel" - the "evangelical heart of the Old Testament."
One German scholar and commentator declares, "The sufferings and the exaltation of Christ are announced as clearly as if the prophet had stood at the foot of the Cross, and seen the Risen One."
Matthew Henry writes, "This chapter is so replenished with the unsearchable riches of Christ that it may be called rather the gospel of the evangelist Isaiah than the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah."
Robert L. Moyer summarized the whole passage marvelously when he said: "The them of Isaiah 53 is the greatest theme of the universe - Christ. The work of Isaiah 53 is the greatest work ever performed - redemption. The blessing of Isaiah 53 is the greatest blessing bestowed upon man -salvation."
In this study, you are invited to “Behold the Man” – the Promised Messiah – seven hundred years before His first Advent as Isaiah the prophet gives us a prophetic tour of the gospel grounds!

(excerpts from book review)
“At times I felt transported into earlier times when the gospel was more popular among preachers. I felt like the congregation in Spurgeon’s Tabernacle must have when they heard the great preacher extol the majesty of Christ and his gospel…In a day when the gospel is being hijacked by purveyors of consumer satisfaction, it is refreshing to read again of the Old Story that is forever new….I believe those who take the time to read and ruminate this treatise, will find worship to be spontaneous, love to be natural, and obedience to be an honor. As the message of good news permeates the head and heart, the reader will find weeping and dancing to be compatible twins of expression.”
