THE SUFFERING SERVANT BRINGS SALVATION

Isaiah 53:4-11

The message of the Gospel is that at the right time, Christ died on the Cross for our

sins (see Romans 5:6). The Greeks had two primary definitions of “time.” Chronos refers to

everyday time. Chronos gives us the word chronology. Chronos is sequential time that moves

from one minute, day, or month to the next. Paul did not use the word chronos.

The other word for “time” is kairos—opportune or decisive time. It refers to the right

time to do something. It has nothing to do with chronological time; rather, it refers to the

decisive moment (see Ecclesiastes 3:1-10) when conditions come together to produce the

right moment for something powerful to happen.

The good news of the Gospel is that Calvary is not the final point of God’s redemptive

plan of salvation.
