Principal's MessageHe says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob andbring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that mysalvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” Isaiah 49:6 Would you enjoy work as a servant? Most of us would choose a job in which we have someauthority and privilege rather than submission and humble service.What did Jesus choose? What did his Father choose for him? It was submission and humbleservice for Jesus instead of authority and privilege. He willingly took up the station designatedin Isaiah’s prophecy: “the Servant of the Lord.”Isaiah chapter 49 marks a new emphasis in that book of prophecy. Whereas earlier chaptersfocused on God’s deliverance of Israel from Babylonian captivity, this part focuses on thespiritual deliverance of God’s people through the Servant of the Lord.Here we �nd the Servant of the Lord, fully equipped and competent to deliver Israel. Jesuskept this word of prophecy in his humble service to free us from the guilt of sin and curse ofeternal death. He explained, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and togive his life as the ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).He did this not just for the people of Israel (“too small a thing”) but also for you and me, forthe entire world. He served in the lowliest way, bearing the burden of all sinners on his crossto restore us to life with God forever.-taken from WELS Daily Devotions
