The Servant of the Lord

The Servant of the Lord

by Robert B. Thompson
The Book of Isaiah tells us about the Servant of the Lord. The Servant of the Lord is Christ, Head and Body. Each of us who is a member of the Body of Christ finds what our role is by studying Isaiah, Chapter Forty-two, and related passages.
Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations. (Isaiah 42:1—NASB)
The passage above is speaking directly to each member of the Body of Christ. It is telling us that he or she is God's servant. The Christian preaching of today seems to be stressing that God is our servant. He is not. God's will is the only legitimate will in the universe.
There is no part of the Bible that tells us good will come to us if we do not do God's will instead of our own. But for those who set themselves to do God's will, and only God's will, the Bible offers us an inheritance more glorious than our wildest hopes and imaginations.
Each member of the Servant of the Lord, the Body of Christ, is upheld by the Father himself. This means that during the chaos that is approaching America, the believer will find that the everlasting Arms are under him or her.
Each member of the Body of Christ is a chosen individual. Many people are called to partake of the Kingdom of God. But to qualify for the responsibilities and inheritance of the servants of the Lord, we must pass from the ranks of the called to the ranks of the chosen. We do this by faithfully following Christ, bearing our personal cross.
God puts his Spirit upon us because we are obedient to Him.
