How do we know Jesus is the servant mentioned in Isaiah 42?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is confirmed as the servant of the Lord in Isaiah 42 by New Testament citations and the fulfillment of prophecy.

In Isaiah 42, God speaks of His servant whom He upholds and in whom He delights. This is directly affirmed in the New Testament, specifically in Matthew 12:14-21, where the Gospel writer cites Isaiah to identify Jesus as the servant. This connection emphasizes that Jesus fulfills the prophecies concerning the servant of the Lord, who brings light to the Gentiles and executes judgment in truth. Such fulfillment assures us that Jesus is the central figure in God's redemptive plan.
