This is the final sermon from the 2023 Lent series "Why Must the Servant of the LORD Suffer?" Pastor Schurman concludes the series by explaining what Jesus' victory over sin, death, and the devil did for us using the last verses from Isaiah's prophecy about the suffering servant.

When Jesus died on the cross, the temple curtain, which was the barrier to the most sacred part of the temple, was torn apart. Through the tearing of the curtain we see that Jesus is the High Priest and we are priests, so we have direct access to God and Christ is our intercessor. Jesus' death also got rid of the Old Covenant and brought us into the New Covenant.

When Jesus was teaching in the synagogue, the people there were amazed because he taught with authority. Unlike the so-called experts of the law, or false prophets that have come and gone, Jesus spoke the true Word of God, as only God could do. We see Jesus is the one true prophet of God and examine how he serves as a mediator for us.
