Suffering Servant (Isaiah)

The "Suffering Servant" in Isaiah refers to a figure symbolizing an individual or group who endures suffering and hardship selflessly, often for the benefit of others or to fulfill a divine purpose. This servant accepts pain without resistance, believing it will lead to a greater good, such as healing, justice, or salvation. In biblical prophecy, this figure is seen as an instrument of God's plan to bring hope and redemption to suffering people. The concept emphasizes humility, sacrifice, and the idea that true strength can be expressed through suffering for a higher purpose.
