Episode Synopsis

In this third message of our Advent season, we look at Jesus, the suffering servant. In His suffering, we see Jesus as He truly is—not only in the manger, but in the shadow of the cross. Rooted in Isaiah 53 and Matthew 16, this message exposes how easily we embrace a victorious Messiah while resisting a suffering one. It challenges the assumption that our greatest problems are external and confronts the deeper reality that sin is an internal enemy that cannot be defeated by strength, effort, or reform—only by sacrifice.This teaching traces why Jesus had to come as a man, lay down His life, and reclaim the authority humanity lost through Adam. It clarifies the heart of the gospel: salvation is not self-improvement, but death and resurrection—leaving Adam behind and being born again in Christ. The message culminates in a clear call to repentance, defined not as religious effort, but as a radical transformation of both thinking and direction, made possible only by faith in the finished work of the Suffering Servant.
