… And listen to the details of this 700 years before it actually happened. Isaiah 53, verses 7 to 12. He was beaten down and punished. Talking about Jesus on the cross, before the cross. But he didn't say a word. That all happened. he was led out like a lamb to be slaughtered he was condemned to death without fair judgment and then he was put to death for the transgressions of everyone else that's us he died like a criminal but then was buried with the rich even though he'd done nothing wrong and had never lied you know this is true Jesus died on the cross as a criminal you know that was the worst capital punishment available. It's humiliating, death on the cross. But when they took him down, there was a wealthy man named Joseph of Arimathea who had a brand new tomb he'd bought for his family. He often buried people in the same tomb for decades. There was like a hole in the wall of a cave, and then he covered it up.

By His knowledge shall the righteous one, My servant, make many to be accounted righteous and He shall bear their iniquities. …
… stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with the rich man in his death. Although he had done no violence, there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him. He's 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. Did you catch that? Isaiah's talking about a single man, Jesus, who would be cut off from the land of the living as he died with no physical descendants. Yet, he shall see his offspring. That's the exact same word that we read in Genesis chapter 15. How is it possible for a single person to have offspring? Well, his offspring are those he died to save. This is the gospel.
