In all the covenants, God chooses a community and/or individuals to fulfill his word. He chooses then people respond to his choice by obeying the covenant.

The Servant Songs, or alternatively Servant Poems, discuss the servant who is called by God to lead the nations; however, is horrendously abused by the very people that he has been called to minister to. As a function of this incessant abuse, the servant ultimately decides to sacrifice himself in order to fulfill a type of destiny prepared for him.
The Servant of Songs is found elaborately in the following chapters: Isaiah 42: 1-4, Isaiah 49:1-6, Isaiah 50: 4-9 and Isaiah 52:13-53:12. A look into this concept of ‘servant’ reveals in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament that the servant was called the Servant of the Lord or the Servant of Yahweh.

The author of the essay suggests that it is fair to claim that the world would be a more peaceful place to inhabit if more people practice religious toleration.

There was an important discussion going on downstairs between various members of my family, and I was excluded from that, partly because I was rather young at the time, but also because my mother told me that she could not rely on me to behave appropriately on such a formal occasion.
