[2144.56 --> 2157.20] basked together in the glory of Emmanuel of God with us and how are we supposed to respond to the God with us of Christmas
[2157.20 --> 2166.22] right Emmanuel means God with us and and surely that means something for more than just Christmas day
[2166.22 --> 2179.70] that's what I want us to look at this morning if in the season of Advent we kind of looked at who God is in the
[2179.70 --> 2189.40] servant who Jesus is coming as God as we looked at Emmanuel God with us today I want to shift and ask the
[2189.40 --> 2195.44] question what does that question what does that mean for who you are and so if we've been looking at God's
[2195.44 --> 2204.14] identity I want to see how that shapes our identity what I want to suggest to you this morning the the theme
[2204.14 --> 2214.10] for today the big idea falls under this heading the servant Messiah gives you a new name which comes with a new
[2214.10 --> 2221.36] purpose because he reveals the fullness of God and the fullness of man
[2221.36 --> 2230.90] now Emmanuel as we said God with us right reveals the fullness of God in some ways this is the first part
[2230.90 --> 2239.94] of Colossians 2 verse 9 which says in Christ all the fullness of the deity lives in bodily form
[2239.94 --> 2249.84] and Jesus the Lord of us the Lord of us the Lord of our salvation reveals the fullness of what it means to be
[2249.84 --> 2258.84] human many ways this is the second part of of Colossians 2 verse 9 which says in Christ you have been brought
[2258.84 --> 2268.10] to fullness and so my contention for you this morning is that Jesus as the God man reveals the fullness of God
[2268.10 --> 2281.20] and the fullness of man that Jesus shows us real humanity and all of this is mapped out I think in Isaiah 61 and 62
[2281.20 --> 2289.40] now to get there we have to answer a couple questions and the first question that we'll wrestle with is is who is
[2289.40 --> 2300.16] speaking in this text the first challenge we have is is in digging into this text is who is the voice that we are listening to
[2300.16 --> 2307.66] right to understand what's being said we need to figure out who's saying it and so with your Bibles open
[2307.66 --> 2317.18] starting at verse 1 of 61 follow the voice of the speaker and to do this look at the use of pronouns
[2317.18 --> 2323.18] in this text that's how we're going to follow the voice and again if your Bibles are open this will
[2323.18 --> 2329.76] make more sense to you as we see it together and so listen to these words from the first three verses
[2329.76 --> 2331.06] of chapter 61.
[2333.12 --> 2340.06] The spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor
[2340.06 --> 2346.48] he sent me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for
[2346.48 --> 2352.62] the prisoners to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God to comfort
[2352.62 --> 2359.84] all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of
[2359.84 --> 2365.46] ashes the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair
[2365.46 --> 2374.48] they will be called oaks of righteousness a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor
[2374.48 --> 2375.04] splendor.
[2377.28 --> 2386.12] What we see in Isaiah 61 is the coming together of two different voices that we've already heard
[2386.12 --> 2388.64] in this Advent and Christmas season.
[2389.90 --> 2394.08] One of the voices that we've heard starts in chapter 40.
[2394.62 --> 2398.10] Kevin pointed this out to us when he preached a few weeks ago.
[2398.30 --> 2399.92] It's the voice of the servant.
[2399.92 --> 2406.98] Right in Isaiah 42 we can read about the servant the suffering servant in 49 and 50 and 52 and 53.
[2406.98 --> 2414.28] Right and the servant is identified as the one on whom the spirit of God rests.
[2415.36 --> 2418.26] Right Josh preached on this for us.
[2418.80 --> 2426.94] This is the voice of the servant who will release captives in chapter 49 who will bring righteousness to the people in chapter 53.
[2426.94 --> 2432.96] Each aspect of what the servant does in our text in chapter 61.
[2433.60 --> 2439.50] Right the spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me to proclaim freedom for captives and release the prisoners from darkness.
[2440.04 --> 2443.20] They the people of Zion will be called oaks of righteousness.
[2443.80 --> 2447.58] Each thing the servant says is something the servant has already said.
[2447.66 --> 2450.24] This is the voice of the servant.
[2450.24 --> 2457.42] And then the second voice that we've been hearing from in Isaiah is the anointed one.
[2457.58 --> 2459.10] The Messiah the king.
[2459.84 --> 2467.44] Right in chapter 9 all the way back at the beginning of our Advent season we read about a son who will put the government on his shoulders.
[2467.44 --> 2470.72] Who will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom forever.
[2470.72 --> 2478.18] And then in chapter 11 of Isaiah the son who is king is shown to be the Messiah the anointed one.
[2478.60 --> 2482.72] Right the spirit of the Lord will rest on him who is a branch from Jesse's stem.
[2483.76 --> 2489.92] His instrument will be we read the rod of his mouth which is something we saw to be the word of the Lord.
[2489.92 --> 2501.02] And notice then in Isaiah 61 this voice comes to preach good news to proclaim freedom and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
[2502.16 --> 2506.38] In Isaiah 11 righteousness will be his belt and with righteousness he will judge.
[2506.78 --> 2513.22] And the Messiah comes to establish righteousness which again is what this person here is doing.
[2513.98 --> 2518.82] Right because of his work and his coming they will be called oaks of righteousness.
[2518.82 --> 2526.24] The Messiah of chapter 11 and his coming results in the glorious exaltation of God.
[2526.36 --> 2528.44] The zeal of the Lord will accomplish this.
[2528.90 --> 2533.94] And in chapter 61 this will be a display of his splendor.
[2535.06 --> 2540.24] And so throughout we've heard these two voices the suffering servant and the Messiah king.
[2540.24 --> 2548.18] And in the first three verses of chapter 61 these two voices come together.
[2548.18 --> 2550.82] In one person.
[2552.02 --> 2558.44] And we've heard about the suffering servant and the Messiah king and all that builds and builds on itself.
[2558.44 --> 2563.62] Coming together in one voice one person the servant Messiah.
[2564.66 --> 2569.18] And again Messiah means God's anointed means king ruler over all.
[2569.18 --> 2574.30] And what we're reading and learning is that he would be the servant of all.
[2575.24 --> 2582.06] Right the suffering servant the one who comes not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.
[2582.06 --> 2587.80] Would be God's anointed who comes to destroy God's enemies with the word of his mouth.
[2588.70 --> 2592.48] One person suffering servant and anointed Messiah.
[2592.72 --> 2595.14] One person meekness and majesty.
[2595.38 --> 2598.68] One person the servant Messiah.
[2598.68 --> 2600.50] One person the Lord that he would be the servant of all.
[2600.50 --> 2612.82] And so it doesn't surprise us as readers of the New Testament that when Jesus comes on the scene grown as an adult and begins his preaching ministry.
[2612.82 --> 2617.18] He does so by reading from Isaiah 61.
[2617.18 --> 2622.24] Right the suffering servant is the anointed Messiah.
[2622.24 --> 2627.84] and in Luke 4 you can read about Jesus in the synagogue taking the scroll and reading this
[2627.84 --> 2635.64] text from Isaiah 61 and then saying today in your hearing this scripture is fulfilled.
[2636.60 --> 2644.36] Jesus is the servant Messiah. Jesus is God's anointed. Jesus is the ruler who came to serve
[2644.36 --> 2651.28] and not be served. Jesus is the one who gave his life as a ransom for many. Jesus is the one
[2651.28 --> 2658.98] who's worshiped as king by wise men who came from the east. Jesus is the one who would live life in
[2658.98 --> 2665.30] your place providing the righteousness that you need and he would die death in your place taking
[2665.30 --> 2670.88] the punishment that we all deserve and doing it all for whoever will believe and put their trust
[2670.88 --> 2680.78] and their faith in him. Jesus is the servant Messiah whose voice we hear in chapter 61.
[2681.28 --> 2687.82] And then as we keep reading through Isaiah verses 4 through 7 really starting in verse 3 but
[2687.82 --> 2697.14] verses 4 through 7 make up the content of what he comes to preach. Remember we're following the voice
[2697.14 --> 2702.04] and we're doing that by looking at the pronouns for help and so if you look at the pronouns there
[2702.04 --> 2708.86] these verses become the substance of what the servant Messiah is preaching what he will declare.
[2708.86 --> 2716.62] Right this will be a new reality for those who come under his grace and mercy. This is the good news.
[2716.72 --> 2725.18] This is the gospel. Right he will bestow on them a crown of beauty. They will be oaks of righteousness
[2725.18 --> 2731.68] for the display of the Lord's splendor. That is our our chief end the purpose for which we are created
[2731.68 --> 2741.22] and recreated in grace is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Right they will rebuild and renew a huge hope
[2741.22 --> 2747.24] for those who are living in exile who are living apart from their homes. Right the gospel creates a community
[2747.24 --> 2755.30] that builds and that renews those around it. Translate that into today and think of the communities who have built
[2755.30 --> 2761.66] Christian schools and Christian universities who have built Christian churches and cultural centers.
[2762.16 --> 2767.94] Think of people who have started a business as a disciple of Jesus and are trying to run them
[2767.94 --> 2770.50] as Christian bosses in the world today.
[2772.88 --> 2775.10] And in fact it goes even deeper.
[2775.10 --> 2782.40] In verse 6 it's made more personal because the pronouns shift from they to you.
[2782.40 --> 2791.36] You will be called priests of the Lord. You will be named ministers of our God. Instead of shame you will
[2791.36 --> 2797.38] receive a double portion. Instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. You will inherit a
[2797.38 --> 2805.22] double portion and everlasting joy will be yours. Right in this chapter you have the coming together of two
[2805.22 --> 2812.38] voices in Isaiah the Messiah King and the suffering servant into one person and he speaks
[2812.38 --> 2819.34] he preaches he proclaims to his affected his people made by his word.

[2144.56 --> 2157.20] basked together in the glory of Emmanuel of God with us and how are we supposed to respond to the God with us of Christmas

[2157.20 --> 2166.22] right Emmanuel means God with us and and surely that means something for more than just Christmas day

[2166.22 --> 2179.70] that's what I want us to look at this morning if in the season of Advent we kind of looked at who God is in the

[2204.14 --> 2214.10] for today the big idea falls under this heading the servant Messiah gives you a new name which comes with a new

[2258.84 --> 2268.10] to fullness and so my contention for you this morning is that Jesus as the God man reveals the fullness of God

[2268.10 --> 2281.20] and the fullness of man that Jesus shows us real humanity and all of this is mapped out I think in Isaiah 61 and 62

[2281.20 --> 2289.40] now to get there we have to answer a couple questions and the first question that we'll wrestle with is is who is

[2398.30 --> 2399.92] It's the voice of the servant.

[2399.92 --> 2406.98] Right in Isaiah 42 we can read about the servant the suffering servant in 49 and 50 and 52 and 53.

[2406.98 --> 2414.28] Right and the servant is identified as the one on whom the spirit of God rests.

[2415.36 --> 2418.26] Right Josh preached on this for us.

[2418.80 --> 2426.94] This is the voice of the servant who will release captives in chapter 49 who will bring righteousness to the people in chapter 53.

[2426.94 --> 2432.96] Each aspect of what the servant does in our text in chapter 61.

[2433.60 --> 2439.50] Right the spirit of the sovereign Lord is on me to proclaim freedom for captives and release the prisoners from darkness.

[2440.04 --> 2443.20] They the people of Zion will be called oaks of righteousness.

[2443.80 --> 2447.58] Each thing the servant says is something the servant has already said.

[2447.66 --> 2450.24] This is the voice of the servant.

[2450.24 --> 2457.42] And then the second voice that we've been hearing from in Isaiah is the anointed one.

[2457.58 --> 2459.10] The Messiah the king.

[2459.84 --> 2467.44] Right in chapter 9 all the way back at the beginning of our Advent season we read about a son who will put the government on his shoulders.

[2467.44 --> 2470.72] Who will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom forever.

[2470.72 --> 2478.18] And then in chapter 11 of Isaiah the son who is king is shown to be the Messiah the anointed one.

[2478.60 --> 2482.72] Right the spirit of the Lord will rest on him who is a branch from Jesse's stem.

[2483.76 --> 2489.92] His instrument will be we read the rod of his mouth which is something we saw to be the word of the Lord.

[2489.92 --> 2501.02] And notice then in Isaiah 61 this voice comes to preach good news to proclaim freedom and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

[2502.16 --> 2506.38] In Isaiah 11 righteousness will be his belt and with righteousness he will judge.

[2528.90 --> 2533.94] And in chapter 61 this will be a display of his splendor.

[2535.06 --> 2540.24] And so throughout we've heard these two voices the suffering servant and the Messiah king.

[2540.24 --> 2548.18] And in the first three verses of chapter 61 these two voices come together.

[2548.18 --> 2550.82] In one person.

[2552.02 --> 2558.44] And we've heard about the suffering servant and the Messiah king and all that builds and builds on itself.

[2558.44 --> 2563.62] Coming together in one voice one person the servant Messiah.

[2564.66 --> 2569.18] And again Messiah means God's anointed means king ruler over all.

[2569.18 --> 2574.30] And what we're reading and learning is that he would be the servant of all.

[2575.24 --> 2582.06] Right the suffering servant the one who comes not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many.

[2582.06 --> 2587.80] Would be God's anointed who comes to destroy God's enemies with the word of his mouth.

[2588.70 --> 2592.48] One person suffering servant and anointed Messiah.

[2592.72 --> 2595.14] One person meekness and majesty.

[2595.38 --> 2598.68] One person the servant Messiah.

[2598.68 --> 2600.50] One person the Lord that he would be the servant of all.

[2600.50 --> 2612.82] And so it doesn't surprise us as readers of the New Testament that when Jesus comes on the scene grown as an adult and begins his preaching ministry.

[2612.82 --> 2617.18] He does so by reading from Isaiah 61.

[2617.18 --> 2622.24] Right the suffering servant is the anointed Messiah.

[2702.04 --> 2708.86] these verses become the substance of what the servant Messiah is preaching what he will declare.

[2708.86 --> 2716.62] Right this will be a new reality for those who come under his grace and mercy. This is the good news.

[2716.72 --> 2725.18] This is the gospel. Right he will bestow on them a crown of beauty. They will be oaks of righteousness

[2767.94 --> 2770.50] as Christian bosses in the world today.

[2772.88 --> 2775.10] And in fact it goes even deeper.

[2775.10 --> 2782.40] In verse 6 it's made more personal because the pronouns shift from they to you.

[2782.40 --> 2791.36] You will be called priests of the Lord. You will be named ministers of our God. Instead of shame you will

[2797.38 --> 2805.22] double portion and everlasting joy will be yours. Right in this chapter you have the coming together of two

[2805.22 --> 2812.38] voices in Isaiah the Messiah King and the suffering servant into one person and he speaks

[2812.38 --> 2819.34] he preaches he proclaims to his affected his people made by his word.
