Servant Songs IV

This week we are continuing our series through the Servant Songs of Isaiah. The song in Isaiah 49 is unique because in it we get a glimpse of the internal thoughts of Jesus Christ, His prayers to the Father, and the Father's response to Him. There is great deal we can learn about how to pray, how to respond to God in faith, and how to walk the path Jesus walked during His earthly life.

The Messiah speaks to us in Isaiah 49:1-3:

Listen to Me, you islands,
And pay attention, you peoples from afar.
The Lord called Me from the womb;
From the body of My mother He named Me.
2 He has made My mouth like a sharp sword,
In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me;
And He has also made Me a sharpened arrow,
He has hidden Me in His quiver.
3 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel,
In whom I will show My glory.”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain,
I have spent My strength for nothing and futility;
Nevertheless, the justice due to Me is with the Lord,
And My reward is with My God.”
