"Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." Isaiah 53:4

Jesus is the Servant who saves and, as such, He deserves and desires our careful attention. Matthew 8:17 says what Jesus did in healing was to fulfill Isaiah 53:4, where the Servant, who performs God’s call, engages sickness and disease on behalf of the people. It is generally understood that when the NT quotes a brief OT passage, it often refers to the entire context of the quote. So we must take into account the thrust of the entire Servant song and look for a deeper connection. Jesus is the servant who saves.
