Lesson 5 of 6 · Isaiah 53:7–9
The Servant’s Attitude in Suffering
Isaiah 53:7–9 turns from the fact of suffering to the Servant’s attitude within it. Oppressed and afflicted, He does not retaliate; like a lamb led to slaughter, He remains silent. His suffering is terrible and unjust, yet the text insists on His innocence. His quiet strength becomes a searching model for servants who must endure hardship without surrendering faithfulness.
