Welcome to Season 6 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.
In Season 6 of the show, we’re working our way through the story of the Bible in 12 key passages. Together, these passages will take us from creation to new creation, across the different sections and genres of Scripture, with Christ at the centre.
In this episode, Allister, Cam and Murray discuss Isaiah 52:13–53:12 and the song of the suffering servant. They place the passage within the book of Isaiah and the unfolding Servant Songs, and explore how the servant moves from Israel as a nation to a single individual. They look at the servant who is marred, rejected and exalted, who bears the griefs and iniquities of many and is vindicated, sees his offspring and divides the spoil.
They also trace this prophecy through Scripture to Jesus, the servant who gave his life as a ransom for many, and consider what it means for the church’s assurance, mission and suffering. They reflect on the nations gathered around the slain Lamb, and on the priest who even now makes intercession for the transgressors until the kingdom is consummated.
