He Took Our Place

Christian Lee (2025 Jan 12, Sunday, Storyline Church)

An alarming number of millennials and pastors these days are abandoning faith in the teaching of Christ's penal substitutionary atonement. They reject the idea that God is angry with humanity and would require a penalty for sin to be paid by his innocent Son. They find it an offense to make God out to be a wrathful, bloodthirsty, and vengeful God. They reject this image as crude and archaic. They preach that the cross is not about a God who suffers for us but a God who suffers with us. But is that what we find in Isaiah 53 and the rest of Scripture? And how does faith in Christ's substitutionary atonement affect our lives?

This is the sixth sermon in the Servant Songs of Isaiah and the third sermon covering the famous fourth servant song appearing in Isaiah. 

Passage: Isaiah 53:4-6 (ESV)
