I’d like to answer the questions raised in the article, as well as a few other points. I could go over all the points if you want though.
Given the Christian view that Jesus is God, is God His own servant?
Yes, the New Testament covers that. Philippians 2
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,[b] 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[c] being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Something else raised in the article:
53:8 " From my peoples’ sins, there was injury to them ." Here the Prophet makes absolutely clear, to anyone familiar with Biblical Hebrew, that the oppressed Servant is a collective Servant, not a single individual. The Hebrew word " lamoh ", when used in our Scriptures, always means " to them " never " to him "
Not a problem. God is triune.
53:10 " He will prolong his days. " Not only did Jesus die young, but how could the days be prolonged of someone who is alleged to be God?
huh…well if he’s a man that died young and rose from the dead because he’s God, then his days would be prolonged for sure.
53:12 " Therefore, I will divide a portion to him with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty. " If Jesus is God, does the idea of reward have any meaning?
See Philippians 2 above or this passage that I read this morning from Isaiah 49.
And now the Lord says,
he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
I will make you as a light for the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”7 Thus says the Lord,
the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
“Kings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
