Lesson 2 of 6 · Isaiah 52:13–15
Accepts God’s Design for His Life
The Servant’s ministry opens with success and exaltation, but the path immediately descends into astonishing suffering before reaching the nations. Isaiah 52:13–15 establishes the U-shaped pattern that frames the whole song. Godly leadership begins by accepting the Father’s design rather than defining success by comfort, recognition, or an easy path.
