A Mission Beyond Israel
Commentators unanimously explain that God considered the Messiah's mission to Israel alone as "too light a thing." This doesn't diminish the importance of restoring Jacob, but reveals a far grander, more glorious plan. The Servant's ultimate purpose was always intended to be universal, bringing salvation "unto the end of the earth," showcasing the immense scope of God's redemptive heart.
