The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Servant exalted and lifted up applied to the Messiah in Yalkut; introduces Suffering Servant
The Servant Exalted
Isaiah foretold a servant who would be highly exalted.
Old Testament
Isaiah 52:13
See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
New Testament
Philippians 2:9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name.
Why This Matters
Isaiah foretold a servant who would be highly exalted. Paul declares that God has done exactly this — exalting Christ to the highest place with the name above every name. The suffering servant is the exalted Lord.
Reflection
Jesus, because You rose, my future is secure. Make this truth in The Servant Exalted reshape my fears and my prayers.
