How do we know Christ's divinity and role as a servant is true?
Answered in 1 source
The New Testament confirms Christ's divinity and servant role by citing Isaiah's prophecies and attributing them directly to Him.
The New Testament authors, particularly Matthew and John, explicitly connect Isaiah’s prophecy in Isaiah 42 to Jesus Christ. Matthew quotes this passage to affirm Christ's identity as the Messiah, showing that He is the fulfillment of the servant role depicted by Isaiah. Furthermore, John points out that Isaiah saw the glory of Christ when he spoke of this servant. This connection is essential to understanding Jesus not only as the promised Messiah but also as an integral part of God's redemptive plan, emphasizing His full divinity in His mission as the servant chosen to redeem humanity.
