The King Who Came To Serve | Rev Jonathan Aitken | Isaiah 50:4-11 | Sunday 30 March 2025 3q5t16

The King Who Came to Serve (A series looking at the servant songs of Isaiah). This is the third instalment of our latest sermon series, this week's Bible age is taken from Isaiah 50:4-11, NIV.  Isaiah 50:4-11| New International Version 4 The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue,     to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning,     wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. 5 The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears;     I have not been rebellious,     I have not turned away. 6 I offered my back to those who beat me,     my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face     from mocking and spitting. 7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,     I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint,     and I know I will not be put to shame. 8 He who vindicates me is near.     Who then will bring charges against me?     Let us face each other! Who is my acc?     Let him confront me! 9 It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me.     Who will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment;     the moths will eat them up. 10 Who among you fears the Lord     and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark,     who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord     and rely on their God. 11 But now, all you who light fires     and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires     and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand:     You will lie down in torment. zr
