A passage from the book of Isaiah, particularly Isaiah 53, is read in church on Good Friday because it prophetically describes the suffering servant and the atonement for sin, which Christians interpret as a foreshadowing of Jesus' crucifixion. This passage highlights themes of suffering, sacrifice, and redemption, aligning with the solemn observance of Christ's Passion. By reading it, the church reflects on the significance of Jesus' sacrifice and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in the events of Good Friday.
