Songs of the servant
In our series, Songs of the Servant, we are looking at the servants songs in the book of Isaiah (42, 49, 50, 52). These songs were originally written about Israel and their role in the world. Each song is a beautiful call to justice, righteousness, and transformation and they still speak to powerfully to our own hopes today. Israel was unable to fulfill the hopes of these songs. But, Jesus’ is the ultimate fulfillment of Israel’s story, the servant who gives us a new song of new hope and life.
