2 God desired it (Isa. 53:10). Sin necessitated it (Isa. 53:10-11). Hope required it (Isa. 53:10-12)

3 He who reads Christ s love as a mere history, traces the death of Christ to the enmity of the Jews, and to the fickle character of the Roman Governor. In this he is right, for the crime and sin of the Savior s death must lay at the door of manhood. This race of ours became a deicide and slew the Lord, and nailed it s Savior to a tree. But he who reads the Bible with the eye of faith... sees something more in the Savior s death then Roman cruelty, or Jewish malice: he sees the solemn decree of God fulfilled by men...he looks beyond the Roman spear and nail, beyond the Jewish taunt and jeer, up to the Sacred Fount, whence all things flow, and traces the crucifixion of Christ to the breast of Deity. C.H Spurgeon

7 43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matt. 5:43-48)

8 God desired it (Isa. 53:10). To reveal His perfect love (Mat. 5:43-48) To give His Son glory (Luke 24:26) Sin necessitated it (Isa. 53:10-11) Hope required it (Isa. 53:10-12)

9 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:8-11)

10 God desired it (Isa. 53:10). To reveal His perfect love (Mat. 5:43-48) To give His Son glory (Luke 24:26) Sin necessitated it (Isa. 53:10-11) Hope required it (Isa. 53:10-12)

14 God desired it (Isa. 53:10). To reveal His perfect love (Mat. 5:43-48) To give His Son glory (Luke 24:26) Sin necessitated it (Isa. 53:10-11) He would take away our guilt (Heb. 9:26) He would make us righteous (2 Cor. 5:21) Hope required it (Isa. 53:10-12) His crucifixion paid and His resurrection proved.

15 1 Peter 1:3 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance that is imperishable

16 1 Peter 1:13 13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

17 1 Peter 1: knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

18 1 Peter 3:15 15 but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you

19 God desired it (Isa. 53:10). Sin necessitated it (Isa. 53:10-11). Hope required it (Isa. 53:10-12)
