Such a prophecy is astounding! Who would believe that God would choose to save the world through a humble, suffering servant rather than a glorious king? The idea is contrary to human pride and worldly ways. But God often works in ways we don\u2019t expect.

The sacrifices suggested this idea, but it is one thing to kill a lamb, and something quite different to think of God\u2019s chosen servant as that Lamb. But God was pulling aside the curtain of time to let the people of Isaiah\u2019s day look ahead to the suffering of the future Messiah and the resulting forgiveness made available to all mankind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><span class=\"c12\">BIBLE READING:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<b>Luke 2:21-40<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><span class=\"c13\">KEY BIBLE VERSE:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Lord, now I can die in peace!
