Listen "Jesus wins by losing."

Episode Synopsis

Isaiah 52:13-15; Isaiah 53:1-12

As we wrap up this short series on Isaiah (a fitting moment to enter
Advent), we come to Isaiah 53—the Suffering Servant—arguably the text that
shaped the early church’s understanding of Jesus’ death and resurrection
more than any other. It gives us the clearest Old Testament picture of what
Jesus came to do and why it matters for real life.

But it’s not a pretty picture: this is a God who heals by taking the
brutality of all human sin and pain on Himself. We ask how this song might
shape the way we understand our own suffering, and how it calls us toward
compassion and mission in our city.
