someone who is possessed by a stronger person. It is a dem eaning position
according to wordly standards.
I f you think
this summer
was HOT...
In Christ, the word still m eans to be
possessed by the stronger, however, the strong in this instance is the Lord.
Through Christ, the servant becomes “the greatest”.
Old Testam ent - Isaiah 44:1-2
It is magnificent to be nam ed a “servant” by God. G od’s servants
are always special to Him. G od’s committment to His servants is never
shaken, even though they sometimes fail.
Isaiah 42:1-2 - These verses give a beautiful picture of a serv ant. It
highlights his relationship to God a n 4 his attitude as he goes about his
ministry. Jesus: 1 le is special delight to God the Father. He is gifted with the
Spirit, adopts a gentle, quiet lifestyle, and works for the birth of justice.
Allhough I le is opposed, He remains faithful to a certain image and He
succeeds as God’s sevant, according to Flis calling. God gives a promise to
Christ the Servant anti to ¡ill servants of the Lord: Issaiah 42:6.
