A Light to the Nations – Isaiah 49:1–13

In this second Servant Song, we hear the "new things" God promised to announce: the coming of the Servant of the Lord. He is called from the womb, his mouth made like a sharp sword, and though his labor will seem to be in vain, the Lord commissions him as a light to the nations, that his salvation may reach to the end of the earth. In this message from Isaiah 49:1–13, we marvel at the Servant's calling, his commission, and his covenant, all fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now is the day of salvation! May we respond with exuberant worship and proclaim this good news to the nations.
