Isaiah

Key-word, “Salvation;” Key-verse, 53:5.-The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. This is the song of Christ, tracing the great facts and features of his life and work from his cradle to his crown. The heart of the Old Testament is the fifty-third chapter, where God’s suffering Servant is represented as bearing our sins. Every great truth of the gospel is anticipated in this prophecy.
