Isaiah highlighted for me just how ugly sin really is. Througout Isaiah‚ we are shown a people who are so busy willingly chasing after the flashy lures of sin that they could not look up‚ to the goodness and glory of God.

Schipper’s conclusion that while Isaiah 53 need not always and alone be interpreted as a text about disabilities‚ to obscure the Servant’s experience is in some ways dishonest to the text. Moreover‚ there are practical consequences of an interpretation history that excludes disability from the Suffering Servant’s narrative.
