Episode Synopsis

Christmas Eve Service   Texts: Isaiah 53:1-6; 1 Peter 2:24-25   Jesus Suffered as the Rejected Servant (Is. 53:1-3) Jesus came to earth in humility to a people that did not recognize or accept Him. Jesus' experience on earth was marked by grief and rejection.   Jesus Suffered as our Sin-Bearing Servant (Is. 53:4-6) Jesus entered into our sorrows and griefs by bearing the weight of our sin. Jesus' death led to our spiritual healing and our sins being forgiven.   Jesus Succeeded as our Victorious Savior (1 Peter 2:24-25) Jesus' death was effective to save us, empower us to die to sin, and live righteously. In Jesus, we have a Shepherd who loves and pursues us.
