Christ is identified as the servant of God through scriptures that depict His obedience and mission to save His people.
The prophet Isaiah articulates the identity of Christ as the servant of God, particularly in passages like Isaiah 50 where He declares His obedience and readiness to fulfill God's will. The acknowledgment of Christ's role as the servant is crucial for understanding His mission: to bear the sins of many and to empower believers to worship in spirit and truth. This faithful obedience stands in stark contrast to the expectations of the religious leaders of His day, who overlooked His humble service and sought an earthly kingdom rather than the spiritual salvation He offered.
