Introduction
• Imagine you had the ability to see into the future and know what was going to happen. What would you want to know
• Can knowing about future events ever give you hope? Explain.
• What are some of the pitfalls of knowing about future events in your life?
Isaiah 52:13-53:12
<See Handout>
I. The Messiah would not come from fame (Reference Isaiah 53:2)
• Why do you think God wanted the Messiah to be born in obscurity to an "average" family?
• How might the New Testament have been different if Jesus had been born to a wealthy or powerful family
II. The Messiah would not be defended (Reference Isaiah 53:8a)
• How would Jesus' story have been different if someone influential had stopped his crucifixion?
III. The Messiah would take the punishment for our sin (Reference Isaiah 53:4-6)
• Why would Jesus-the Messiah-willingly pay a price for sin that he didn't commit?
• How would our lives be different today if Jesus hadn't paid our punishment on the cross?
• Would you ever willingly take the punishment for something a friend did? Why or why not?
IV. Additional Discussion• Have you ever looked through the different
prophecies about the Messiah? What did you discover that was interesting?
• Why did Jesus need to take our punishment (Isaiah 53:4-6)? Couldn't we have done something to earn forgiveness?
• Think about your life and the sins Jesus died for; do you see yourself as an "average" sinner, as someone who sins more than most teenagers do, or someone who sins less often than others? Why?
IV. Application
• How might these prophecies about Jesus being the Messiah strengthen your belief in him?
• How can these prophecies help you share your faith with others?
• In what ways can you show your thankfulness that Jesus suffered the consequences for your mistakes (your sin)?
V. Summary
Isaiah 52:13-53:12
① The Messiah would not come from Fame (Is 53:2)
② The Messiah would not be defended (Is 53:8a)
