Rebels from the Wilderness, pt. 3 - The Servant’s Restoration

Passage: Isaiah 49:1-13Who is our Savior? Isaiah 49 seeks to provide clarity as we answer that question. Christ is either the Savior prophesied by the Old Testament, or He is a fraud. This week, we look at what the Old Testament says about our Savior’s identity.Key Takeaways:God destined you for a glorious purpose from your mother's womb.Without accountability, the cross is worthless.Jesus is not only Savior and love—He will hold you accountable.Unlike Israel, the Servant never failed nor forsook God.We do the work of the Father without regard for the outcome, and leave the reward in the Lord's hands.It was too small a thing for the Servant to restore only Israel—salvation reaches the ends of the earth.All that matters is whether you are covered by the blood.The story ends in joy: the Lord comforts His people and has compassion on His afflicted ones.
