My Servant

Isaiah 41:8-9 (ESV Strong's)

8 But you, Israel, my servant,

Jacob, whom I have chosen,

the offspring of Abraham, my friend;

9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth,

and called from its farthest corners,

saying to you, “You are my servant,

I have chosen you and not cast you off”;

Israel is the friend and servant chosen by God to bear His light into all the earth. 

The Church is the Bride of Christ who choose His Son and become children of the light and sons of God. 

Israel is the cultivated olive tree whose roots are in the earth. The Bride of Christ is grafted into that tree who are reborn from above. This is the tree of life.
