The Gospel According to Isaiah is basically a devotional commentary on Isaiah 53. This chapter is one of the most amazing chapters in the Bible. Even though it was written some 800 years before the birth of Christ, it actually contains one of the clearest views of the person and work of Christ in all of the Bible.
This ancient Old Testament prophecy gives a distilled New Testament theology. Isaiah 53 directs us to the Cross of Christ and the Christ of the Cross. Its central theme is the sacrificial substitutionary and saving death of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary and infinite blessings and benefits which accrue to the believer from this act. Isaiah is rightly known as the Evangelical prophet and this chapter encapsulates his 'Evangel'.
