Christ is called the Savior in Isaiah 60 because He redeems His people from sin and is the embodiment of God's mercy and salvation.
In Isaiah 60, the reference to Christ as the Savior highlights His role in the redemptive plan of God. He is not just a distant deity but intimately involved with His people, saving individuals personally. When Isaiah states, 'I the Lord am thy Savior,' it emphasizes the relational aspect of salvation—the assurance that He saves believers by name, ensuring that they place their trust in Him for their redemption. This truth is reinforced by the imagery of a high priest bearing the names of those he represents, illustrating how Christ's saving work is deeply personal and effective for each of His chosen ones, offering peace and security to all who come to Him.
