In our text, Yahweh declares His authority over the
people He has created. He also expresses His
commitment to saving His people. He also exposes
what He desires to do with His people. He wants them to
be a light for the gentiles. Through the covenant
established with them, He wants to draw the gentiles
closer to Himself. This has always been the purpose of
Israel’s call (Exod 19:5–6). This will be possible through
the mission of God’s servant, who has been raised as the
light to the nations. In John 8:12, Jesus will confirm this
when He says, "I am the light of the world." This
appointment brings hope not just to Israel but to all
nations. The people who were in darkness will now see
the light (Matthew 4:16). Blind eyes will be opened, and
the captives will be liberated. This was fulfilled through
Israel’s deliverance from Babylon and ultimately through
the ministry of Jesus (Matt 4:23).
Jesus is the light of the world. Salvation in Christ Jesus is
for all who believe. People of all ethnic groups can come to
faith. Proclaim the gospel to all people.
