Isaiah 53:4-6 “Redemption Of My Servant” “Those three verses may well be the most magnificent verses in the entire Old Testament ” (John MacArthur). Three great redemptive truths are laden in these verses: Substitution, Propitiation, and Justification.

I. Vicarious Redemption (Substitution In Our Place) A. Borne Our Griefs – Affliction, Disease Or Sickness B. Carried Our Sorrows – Suffering, Pain, Or Anguish C. Wounded For Our Transgressions – Rebellion Or Offence

I. Vicarious Redemption D. Crushed For Our Iniquities – Faults, Depravity, Perverse E. Upon Him The Chastisement – Violent Falling Upon F. Laid On Him – Violent Falling Upon
