The Servant Songs | Song 3: Like Flint

What does the Servant of the Lord do when obedience brings opposition and faithfulness brings suffering? In the third Servant Song, Isaiah presents a Messiah who listens humbly, suffers willingly, and remains unshaken in the face of injustice. “I have set my face like flint,” the Servant declares. In this message, we see how Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s vision — refusing to turn back from the cross and trusting His Father for vindication. When trials tempt us to retreat, the flint-faced Savior invites us to fix our eyes on Him and follow in His steps.
