Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

Coast to Coast Broadcast March 8, 2020 - Isaiah 53 "With Us in Trouble"

Dr. Richard Zeile

Isaiah 53 states that the Suffering Servant would make His grave with the rich and with the wicked. In the ancient world, this was somewhat of a riddle for the rich were regarded as favored by God. This message for Easter Eve (or Easter Vigil) discusses the burial of Christ with its signs of reversal to come. Beginning with the classic Good Friday burial hymn, "O Darkest Woe," the program concludes with the Baptism renewal rite of the Vigil service.
