13Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 14As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 15So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider (Isaiah 52:13-15).
7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:7-11).
20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all (Ephesians 1:20-23).
5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen (Revelation 1: 5-6).
29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
Isaiah continues to provide more details concerning the Messiah. The Messiah is to be exalted, sacrificed and offered for the nations. It would seem that it is contradictory to be both exalted and offered up for sacrifice and yet we know that as the Apostle Paul states in Philippians, Christ is in fact worshiped as a result of His atoning work on the Cross. The time is coming when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Christ is Lord. As Lord, Christ has dominion and power over all of Creation. This dominion includes the power over sin and death. During Holy week, in preparation for recognizing the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the Cross and His resurrection from the dead -, let us remember that Christ is object of our worship. He is worthy, and is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
