Isaiah 52-53

Today we reach the highpoint of the entire Old Testament.  If the whole point of the Old Testament was to prepare us for and point us toward Christ, if Christ himself was the end of the law (Romans 10), if Jesus could open the scriptures and show how they all pointed toward him (Luke 24), then we must delight in Isaiah 52-53.  For the Ethiopian eunuch, the confusion about who the servant was that had been building as he read Isaiah reached its highest point when he got to chapter 53.  This is the last and greatest of the servant songs.  In it we see Jesus described more vividly than anywhere else in the Old Testament, how he bore our transgressions and how he is brought back to life and vindicated by God.  Take time just to worship a God who suffered for us and who has also triumphed for us.  Read it here.
