Why Jesus had to die is explored through Isaiah’s prophecy of the servant of the Lord, who was despised, crushed, and marred beyond human semblance to bear the sins of many. The passage shows God is just and cannot ignore sin, and Jesus willingly gave himself up as the sacrifice that makes many to be accounted righteous. It asks listeners to see their sin put Jesus at the cross and decide whether they will trust his finished work and walk in newness of life or go back to the chair.
