God calls him here his servant.
Christ was God's servant in the greatest piece of service that ever was, a chosen and a choice servant who did and suffered all by commission from the Father.

and in that he will put his only beloved son to that service.

The Father gives a commission to Christ, the Spirit furnishes and sanctifies to it.
and Christ himself executes the office of a mediator.
Our redemption is founded upon the joint agreement of all three persons of the Trinity.
