In Part 1 of this two-part Easter series, we take a deep dive into the crucifixion of Jesus—not through the Gospels, but through the prophetic lens of Isaiah 53. Written over 700 years before Christ, this chapter unfolds the suffering servantnarrative with uncanny precision, describing the Messiah’s rejection, punishment, and ultimate sacrifice for sin.
Join us as we unpack the historical context, Hebrew grammar, and theological depth of this Old Testament prophecy and show how Isaiah 53 wasn’t just a prediction—it was the blueprint for the crucifixion.
Was Jesus really “stricken by God”? What does it mean that He “bore our griefs” and was “crushed for our iniquities”? And why does this chapter shake the foundations of modern feel-good Christianity?
This episode is gritty, raw, and powerful—perfect for anyone wanting to understand the cross from the perspective of ancient prophecy and eternal purpose.
