names of God: Covenant of the People by ric gustafson
This name refers to God the Son. The Covenant of the People was a living example of the relationship between God and humanity. Isaiah 42:6 says I the Lord called thee in righteousness and will hold thine hand and keep thee and give thee for a covenant of the people for a light of the Gentiles. The prophet was saying that the Servant of the Lord was coming to save the Israelites and also the Gentiles. Jesus was the human face of God's covenant with the world. Jesus came and died for us to show us how much the covenant means to God.
