Isaiah 53 and the Jews

I preached through Isaiah 53 the weeks leading up to Easter this year.  A number of people asked me how Jews could read that chapter and not believe in Jesus.  I’ve pondered that same thought myself and didn’t have a good answer.  It turns out that Isaiah 53 is no longer read in the synagogues, so many Jews have never heard it.  My friend Loren Pankratz, who pastors a church in Utah, posted this video.  It is well worth the ten minutes it takes to view it.  A Jewish man interviews other Jews about Isaiah 53.
