"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus for 23 May 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "The Servant, the Light, to the Gentiles"
Today's Blog Scripture Reading: Isaiah 49:1-26
Today's Bog Key Verse: Isaiah 49:13 "Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, And will have mercy on His afflicted."
The "servant" is a person who shall come forth from the Servant-Nation Israel. He is the Messiah who was "formed...from the womb to be his servant" and to "bring Jacob again to him." He is further commissioned to be a "light to the Gentiles" (quoted in Acts 13, as being fulfilled in Jesus Christ). The reference to the "covenant of the people" is the New Covenant (Testament) by which Christ will gather believers "from far."
God promises Israel that His New Covenant with the Gentiles does NOT negate His Old Covenant with Israel. "I have graven (to curve, cut, engrave) Thee upon the palms of my hands" reveals the eternal security of the salvation of God's people. They are inseparably united to Him. Ultimately God will bring both the "Gentiles" and His people together into one people of God.
