Wonder of Christmas | Part 2 | Pastor Chris Heller
Last week, we discovered four servant songs in the prophetic literature of Isaiah that spoke of an individual who will come as a servant to not only Israel, but to all the nations. In the first servant song, Isaiah 42, we read about a coming servant that would be “gentle and lowly” in approach to his work.
This week, we will read in the second servant song, Isaiah 49, of a coming servant that would be “powerful and patient” in the fulfillment of his work. Again we will ask, is this servant simply Israel, or is the one being spoken of the fulfillment of the Messiah, the child to come, that Isaiah had prophesied?
