Episode notes
The servant song of Isaiah for Catholics speaks of Jesus, for Jews speaks of Israel, but the ambiguity of the Hebrew allows us to explore both and more. This servant is also who we are, while at the same time those who dwell in darkness. The covenant spoken about is a covenant people, a covenant unto the people, a covenant for the people. The nation can expand to the world or be one other person who seeks a life with God. We are the covenant for each other through God's blessing on Israel and through the love Jesus the servant brought to the world.
