When God revealed something of a glimpse of the future to the prophet Isaiah who lived 700 years before the birth of Jesus, the prophet saw the person who was to come, the ‘Servant of the Lord’, the Saviour and Redeemer of God’s people. The 53rd chapter of his prophecy is well-known for the way it so accurately describes the death of Jesus on the cross (especially Isaiah 53:4-6). These things were yet to be for the prophet, but now we can look back upon them and see wonderful things!
