Scripture reveals Jesus as the servant of God who willingly laid down His life for His people.
Jesus' identity as the servant of God is emphatically presented throughout the Scriptures. Philippians 2:7 states that He made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, emphasizing His humility and willingness to fulfill the redemptive plan set forth by the Father. Moreover, Isaiah 50:5-7 illustrates the servant's obedience and submission to God's will, showing that Christ willingly endured suffering and shame for our sake. The nature of His servanthood portrays Him not as a reluctant subject, but as one who lovingly accepted the calling to redeem humanity from sin. This divine servanthood assures believers of His commitment to their salvation, evidencing the depth of God's covenantal love.
