The document discusses Isaiah's call to God's people through his servant songs. When Israel was in physical captivity in Babylon, they were also facing spiritual temptation to abandon their faith. Similarly today, Christians face persecution and ridicule while worldly values threaten the church. Isaiah's advice was to leave both physical slavery in Babylon and the spiritual slavery of false gods, calling the people back to God. This study of Isaiah's servant songs similarly calls Christians to leave sin and fully commit to God.
