TYPOLOGY OF THE UNNAMED SERVANT & THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Fathers of the Church saw the Unnamed Servant as a symbolic "type" of God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the only person of the Holy Trinity who does not have a personal name. Compare the major players in this narrative with the Most Holy Trinity and the Church:
Just Father | Abraham | Yahweh, God the Father |
Righteous Son | Isaac | Jesus the Son |
Servant | Unnamed Servant | Holy Spirit |
The Bride | Rebecca | The Church |
Question:
"The Unnamed Servant" is a name that
the Fathers of the Church used for God the Holy Spirit. WHY? What is his
mission in the New Covenant?
Answer:
He is the only person of the Trinity
not to have a personal name. It is His mission to bring the "Bride"= the
Church, to the Bridegroom = Christ! "However, when the Spirit of truth
comes he will lead you to the complete truth..." John 16:13 [also see John
14:26; 15:26].
