Emphasis Preaching Journal

It's been said, "The second kick of the mule won't teach anybody." Clearly, if one doesn't learn the first time from such pain, one isn't the learning kind. Isaiah's suffering servant has been enabled by the Lord God to teach others because the servant himself has learned from experience. The suffering of Isaiah's servant is such that it benefits others. No matter the pain he's experienced or witnessed, he's learned by it and he will use such insight to help others.
