We look at Old Testament prophecies concerning the purpose for which Christ came into this world: His sufferings and death on the cross for our sins His resurrection from the dead. We will focus on two key passages of Scripture: Psalm 22, which prophesies the type of death He would die, crucifixion; and Isaiah 53, which prophesies the reason Christ died, as a substitute for our sins. These Scriptures help us better know and understand what Christ was willing to go through because of His great love for us.
