 Isaiah 53
• Written approximately 100 years before Jesus
was born.
• This was 70 years before the invention of
crucifixion.

“But he was pierced for

our transgressions,
he was crushed for our
iniquities (sins)”
 Why did this happen?
• A punishment for a guilty criminal?
• A useless death?
• God’s rescue plan?
 Ever since the beginning of
The the world, God’s people have
Problem… failed to be able to keep His
laws. They had to make a
sacrifice to make up for this.
In the Old Testament, lambs
or other animals would be
sacrificed – it had to be
something pure and without
sin, to make up for all the sin
that humans had committed.
But this had to be done by
the priest every year – it
didn’t solve their problem
forever.
 The Solution…
Jesus said that he had come to be
the final sacrifice for sin. After him,
no more sacrifices would be
necessary. In Hebrews 10 it says,
“…we have been made holy
through the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ’s body, once for all.”
Jesus himself makes this clear when
he says:
“For God so loved the world that
he gave his one and only Son, so
that whoever believes in him will
not die but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)
How do I get to heaven?
These key verses show that
believing in Jesus and his
sacrificial death on the cross is
the way – and the only way – of
getting to heaven. Anyone who
does not accept Christ in their
lifetime will not go on to
everlasting life.
What is a fair price for a human
life? The life of God himself in the
form of Jesus.
