Join us at Twelve 5 Church for week three of our Christmas series, Shadows of Christmas. This Sunday we turn to Isaiah 52:13 through 53:12 and behold the Suffering Servant. Long before the cross was raised, long before nails pierced flesh, God spoke with stunning clarity about a Savior who would be rejected, crushed, and silent in His suffering.
Isaiah shows us that Christmas cannot be separated from the cross. The child born to us would be a man of sorrows. The promised King would come through humiliation. The Servant would bear our griefs, carry our sins, and be wounded for our transgressions. This is not a vague shadow. It is a clear and costly picture of the work Christ came to accomplish.
Come see how the suffering of Jesus was not an accident, but the deliberate plan of God to save His people. Christmas shines brightest when we see what the Son came to endure.
Gather with us. Open the Scriptures. See the glory of Christ.
