We will continue to see prophecies concerning the Messiah that were made hundreds of years before Christ. These prophecies were later fulfilled completely by Jesus Christ. As we conclude our study of Isaiah 53, you will be able to see why so many Jewish people believe that this chapter was added to the Bible after the fact.</p>
]]></description><lessonItem><name><![CDATA[Personal Evangelism Lesson 25 Topic 1]]></name><lessonInstructions><![CDATA[<p>In this lesson we will continue to take a look at Isaiah chapter 53. Not all Jewish Bibles have this chapter missing, but many do. In the minds of some Jews, this chapter describes Jesus too accurately to have been written beforehand. Yet as we have seen previously, there is much evidence to support the fact that Isaiah wrote this hundreds of years before the time of Christ.</p>

<p>As we finish, make sure you take the time to really know and understand it. It will be invaluable to you in your witnessing; not just to a Jewish person, but to anyone who does not believe the Bible is the Word of God.</p>

Put simply, it means that Jesus, who knew no sin, literally became our sin for us, so that in God&rsquo;s sight, we could be as righteous as Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). He took our place (substitution) and atoned for our sins.</p>

<p>This wonderful transaction was predicted hundreds of years before it took place. In this topic we will look at verse 5 of Isaiah 53, and see that it is described not once, but 4 times in this verse. Also, we will discuss whether or not physical healing is guaranteed in the atonement.</p>

He left the 99 other sheep to go and find the 1 that was lost. In this topic&rsquo;s verse, Isaiah 53:6, we will see that all of us are like that 1 sheep. We&rsquo;ve gone astray, we&rsquo;ve wandered away.</p>

<p>Jesus willingly left His throne in Heaven to come and bear our iniquity. We can try to turn to our &ldquo;&hellip;own way&hellip;&rdquo;, but the end result of that is death (Proverbs 14:12). God put our sin upon Jesus, because we could never pay the debt we owed. In this topic we continue to look at this beautiful passage foretelling the work Messiah would do.</p>

They have no clue as to what&rsquo;s about to happen. In this topic&rsquo;s verse, we will see that it was prophesied that Messiah would not open his mouth to answer his accusers.</p>

<p>Matthew 27:11-14&nbsp;describes Jesus&rsquo; appearance before Pilate. In that passage, we see that Jesus would not answer the accusations against Him, so much that Pilate was astounded. He was the Lamb of God, being led to the slaughter, to purchase our redemption.</p>

While there are some that a person could try to fulfill on purpose, there are many prophecies that a human being cannot control, such as his parents lineage and his place of birth.</p>

<p>In this topic we will see 2 more such prophecies that Jesus would have had no control over.&nbsp; The first is being crucified between 2 thieves (&ldquo;grave with the wicked&rdquo;), and the second is being buried in a rich man&rsquo;s tomb (&ldquo;with the rich in his death&rdquo;).</p>

What they fail to mention, is that other writers who were contemporaries of the Apostles give details about Jesus as well.</p>

<p>Another historical record comes from the major &ldquo;superpower&rdquo; of Jesus&rsquo; day: Rome. The Roman government had record of Jesus&rsquo; birth, and as the governing power, had record of his trial, execution, and burial.</p>

<p>The problem that modern &ldquo;scholars&rdquo; face is that this passage can refer to no one but Jesus. It is impossible to apply this to a nation as a whole. Again we find that those who refuse to believe God&rsquo;s Word, do so in the face of great evidence.</p>
