What is the relationship between the servant and the Trinity?
Answered in 1 source
The servant reveals the economic role of the Son within the Trinity, fulfilling God's plan of salvation.
In historic Reformed theology, the relationship of the servant to the Trinity highlights both the essential and economic distinctions within the Godhead. While all three persons of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, the economic role of the Son as the servant reflects His willingness to submit to the Father's will for the sake of humanity's redemption. This relationship emphasizes the unity of purpose in the Trinity, as the Father's plan is executed through the Son's obedient service. The fulfillment of this plan in Christ's mission underscores the significance of the cross and resurrection, illustrating how the servant works in unison with the Father and the Spirit.
