Excerpt from Mother Said So
When, at the request of the General Board of Religious Education (publications Department) I was asked to write this Lenten Book, I had in mind as the subject, that long tradition of the revela tion of God to mankind, which has come down from the Hebrews and through the Christian Church. I wanted to show to ordinary Church people, in brief outline, that our Lord Jesus is Him self the true Israel of God. He is the faithful rem nant of that chosen people, who in a great Mystery, the mvstery of Christ and the Church, Eph. 3 3 9; makes good all the promises of God to His ancient people, fulfills all the hopes and aspira tions of that people. And carries out through His Bodv the Church, the vocation of that Israel, which was to be a royal priesthood to bring the revelation of the one true God to all mankind. Jew and Gentile alike, and to bring all mankind to offer themselves through Christ Himself to the one true God, so making Jew and Gentile, all of man kind, one. To whom does the Prophet refer (isaiah 41 8; 2 and following chapters) when he speaks of the Servant of God? Some say that he refers to Israel the nation. Some say he refers to Jesus Christ the Messiah. Which is correct? Both are right for Jesus is the faithful rem nant of Israel, so that whatever refers to Israel re fers to Him, and through Him to His Body which is the Church. Israel of old was the suffering servant, Jesus is the suffering and faithful Serv ant. The Church which is his Body will always be a suffering servant, and every member of the Church as a member of Christ's Body will have the cross to bear.
