Isaiah 49:3. And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
It is wonderful condescension on Christ’s part to take the name of his Church so that he himself is called "Israel" in this passage; and there is another passage, equally remarkable, where the Church is allowed to take one of the names of Christ: "This is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness." Such an intermingling of interests, such a wonderful unit is there between Christ and his Church, that these twain are truly one.
