Sin is a theme that enters the Bible with Adam and Eve and does not end. This concept is called “original sin” and means that because they first sinned, we are all born needing redemption. These adult Sunday school Bible lessons show us how God provided our redemption by sending us his son, Jesus.

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born”¦and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Ever-lasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punish-ment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah, though he lived hundreds of years before Jesus, was able to predict what would happen to Him with surprising accuracy. He begins his prophesy by recognizing that someday, a child would be born that would be holy. He calls the child “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” These are all names that were given to Jesus during His life.
Isaiah knew a savior would be coming, and he told the Israelites what to expect. He also knew how and why He would die, saying later that He would take the transgressions of the world on His head and that He would be “pierced” as Jesus was by the sword and the nails in the cross.
Finally, Isaiah tells us that the punishment that the Savior would suffer would bring us peace, because we would be healed by His wounds. His accuracy is astounding, seeing as how he could never have known that Jesus would come without the inspiration from God. These passages in the Old Testament clearly point to a Savior who was to come through David’s line and redeem the world. When Jesus arrived on earth, His description fit that of the prophesies and His death brought us the redemption we have been looking for since Adam and Even first sinned.
