Description

"Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand." The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Is 53:10.Why does Christmas still matter in a weary, “she’ll be right” nation that’s quietly losing hope? From one explosive verse in Isaiah, this message unpacks the brutal yet beautiful premise of the gospel — why the Servant had to be crushed — and the unstoppable plot that flows from His grave-busting resurrection. A word of deep comfort for struggling believers and a wide-open invitation for skeptics: the King is alive, His family is growing, and His victory is certain.
