Episode Synopsis

Summary
God has a grand destiny for Israel. They would transform the world and many would be drawn into a relationship with God. Israel does not accomplish God’s call for them. So He must do it himself. He must become the Servant. The Lord will fulfill his law and call as was required.

God
God is the Creator God who makes everything, holds everything in his hand, and works in the world to continue creating life. The reality of this world is corrupt and dark, yet God is invested in its redemption. Israel was called to reveal this God to the world - yet still they failed. So it becomes necessary that God correct Israel. The people He called became like the rest of the world.

Gospel
It is good news that God sends His Servant. Jesus is the One who God chose, the beloved Son in whom God is pleased (Matthew 3:17).
God is bringing justice through Jesus because he never did any wrong. Not even the weakest was threatened by Him. Jesus will not falter, he will definitely not fail.
Yet Jesus didn’t seek fame and glory. In fact he avoided it. He would rather be incognito and insignificant in the world’s standards. Jesus exudes humility.  

Reflection
What do people see when they see you?
