Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

Isaiah 53 "God's Servant Approaches Death"

Dr. Richard Zeile

This meditation on the link between Isaiah 53, the suffering servant of the Lord, and Matthew 26, the suffering of the Christ, shows the golden link between the Hebrew Scriptures and their fulfillment in the Christ. Elements of the Communion service (or Mass) and the Lenten hymn, "Thousand, Thousand Thanks shall Be," accompany this message.
