In this episode of Today With Jesus, Dan Winkler and Robert Hatfield continue their walk through Isaiah 53 by exploring the often-overlooked yet profoundly significant burial of Jesus. Though brief, Isaiah 53:9 captures the paradox of the Suffering Servant—treated as a criminal, yet buried with the rich; condemned by men, yet vindicated by God.Jesus’ burial wasn’t just a closing scene—it was a vital part of the gospel story (1 Corinthians 15:3–4). His body was laid in a borrowed tomb, fulfilling prophecy and proving both His death and His sinless character. Even in death, God’s sovereign plan was unfolding perfectly. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
