Christ the Center panel discuss Edward J. Young s The Origin of the Suffering Servant Idea . While Isaiah 53 s well-known figure bears similarities to the myths of dying and rising [ ]

Isaiah 53:1 · Will Wood

So Paul reads Deuteronomy through the lens of the prophet Isaiah here in Romans chapter 10 with references explicitly to Isaiah 52.7 and then Isaiah 53.1 in verses 15 and 16.

Isaiah 53:7 · Lane G. Tipton

It’s a type from the animal kingdom. And he says – and Camden, if you would, would you be able to read Isaiah 53.7 and then in conjunction with that, 1 Peter 1.19?

Isaiah 53:7 · Camden Bucey

Well, Isaiah 53.7 is, He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth, like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent. So he opened not his mouth. And 1 Peter 1.19? But with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without bl

Isaiah 53:7 · Lane G. Tipton

Isaiah 53:10 · Lane G. Tipton

He’s saying that the servant of Jehovah is designated an asham, a trespass offering. Would you read Isaiah 53.10?

Isaiah 53:10 · Lane G. Tipton

The scapegoat, for instance, becomes a type of the passive aspect of Christ’s obedience so that the whole of Christ’s obedience is typified in both priest and sacrifice. Well, here, Voss is saying, I’ve got another one. I’ve got another one that will help you see this. Isaiah 53.10 presents Christ a

Isaiah 53:10 · Lane G. Tipton

So here, I think Voss is giving us through the trespass offering as it is applied to the Messiah in Isaiah 53.10, he’s giving us, I think, a wonderful argument for the way that the active aspect of obedience is embedded organically into the very nature of the trespass offering. It’s wonderfully help
