Re: Good Friday
Andrew, I really think that you’re misreading Isaiah 53, quite significantly. Unusually for you, it seems like you’re giving the traditional reading too much credit. ;-)
I don’t think the text implies that God does this to the servant. In fact, I think it criticises the very idea: ‘yet we considered him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted’.
I think that what “Isaiah’s” saying is that we thought he was being punished/rejected by God, but we were wrong…
