2 Leader BIBLE STUDY The Book of Isaiah contains four servant songs poems about the servant of God. (Isa. 42:1-4; 49:1-6; 50:4-9; 52:12 53:12) In these poems, the prophet Isaiah describes the working out of God s plan of redemption. We see a vision of the promised Messiah, the innocent substitute who would suffer for the sake of sinners. Through Jesus, God brings sinners back to Himself. The fourth and final servant song is found in Isaiah 53. In this passage, Isaiah provides an answer to the question, How can a just God justify the ungodly? How can He declare innocent those who are guilty? How can He treat bad people as though they are good? How can He love people like us? A just God can t just look the other way. He doesn t say, Don t worry about it, or No big deal. That s cheap grace. Sin against a big God is a big deal. God didn t just forgive our sins, He dealt with them. And this grace was costly. The price? God s own Son. Jesus fulfilled Isaiah s prophecies of a suffering servant. People assumed God had cursed the Suffering Servant for His own sins. But no; Jesus was sinless. So why did He suffer? He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him. The Suffering Servant died the death we deserve. When we trust in Jesus, our sins are wiped away paid for by His blood and His righteousness is credited to us. When Christ s work on the cross was finished, God rewarded Him. For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:9-11). 1 Preschool Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 15 Session 4

4 The BIBLE STORY Isaiah Preached About the Messiah Isaiah 53 Isaiah was a prophet. He gave the people of God special messages from God. Isaiah told the people what was going to happen in the future. Isaiah reminded them that God had a plan. God had a plan to send someone to rescue people from sin. Someone was coming, and He was called the Messiah. The Messiah would be a servant of God. The people didn t know who the Messiah was, but Isaiah told them what the Messiah would do. God s servant grew up, and He looked very ordinary. He wasn t handsome. No one paid attention to Him, and they didn t want to be His friend. They stayed away from Him. God s servant hurt. He knew how it felt to be sick, Isaiah said. Isaiah said that people saw God s servant, but they looked the other way. They didn t care about Him or love Him. But God s servant still did what God wanted Him to do. He came to help people and save them from sin, and that is what He did. The Servant was punished. People thought that He was punished because He had done something wrong. But He never did anything wrong! We were supposed to be punished, but He was punished in our place. We are the ones who do wrong things. We do not love God like we should. But instead of punishing us, God punished Him! Then Isaiah said that something bad was going to happen to the Messiah. He is going to be hurt and treated badly. But He will not say anything. People will be unfair to Him, and they will take Him away. He will be treated like a criminal, but He isn t a criminal. But even though bad people did this to God s servant, God planned this to happen. When the Servant died, He took away people s guilt so God could look at them and say, Not guilty! God would even say, You re good! God s servant would not stay dead. No, God would bring Him back 3 Preschool Bible Study Leader Guide Unit 15 Session 4
5 to life! God s good servant will see all of the people He saved by dying in their place, and He will be happy. He will be glad that He hurt and was treated badly because people were helped. Then God will give Him a reward, Isaiah said. God will give Him honor for doing the right thing, for saving people from sin. God will welcome His friends who walked away from Him. Christ Connection: God planned a very long time ago that Jesus would die on the cross for our sins. Many, many years before Jesus was born, Isaiah wrote about what Jesus would do. Jesus died to save people from sin. 4
