How do we know Jesus is the chosen servant of God?

In Matthew 12, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy underscores Jesus as God's chosen servant. Specifically, Isaiah 42:1-4 speaks of the Messiah as the One on whom God’s Spirit rests, chosen to bring judgment and hope to the nations. The fulfillment of these prophecies demonstrates God’s sovereign plan in choosing Jesus before the world began to accomplish His divine purposes. This truth not only affirms Christ's unique position but also provides believers with a foundation for trust and assurance in God's redemptive plan.
