1:36
In this short sermon, the speaker interprets Isaiah’s prophecy about the suffering servant, arguing that the servant’s exaltation is realized through the crucifixion itself. He emphasizes that the phrase “high and lifted up” refers directly to the cross, not to a celebratory Easter holiday. Citing John 3:14 and John 12:32, he explains that Jesus’ being lifted up draws all people to Him. The speaker also highlights Isaiah’s description of the servant’s appearance as “marred beyond human semblance,” meaning disfigured beyond recognition, underscoring the depth of suffering that accompanies the exaltation of the cross.
