Isaiah, Part 120 | Willful Rejection - Dr. James Tour
"In this study, Dr. James Tour examines why Jesus was rejected by many of His own people, emphasizing that persistent disobedience led to spiritual blindness and judicial hardening, while Isaiah 53 foretells both Israel's rejection of the Messiah and its future national confession. He also highlights the contrast between the Messiah people expected—a political conqueror—and Jesus' mission as the suffering servant who would die as a substitute for sin." from the video introduction
