Isaiah 49 - A light for the nations

It's the start of a new quarter and we explore this week's Sabbath School lesson "Making Friends for God". Isaiah 49:6 speaks of being a "light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth", and this is quoted by Paul in Antioch as a commandment - so what does it mean for us?

For Season 2 of Sabbath School from Home we're going to try pulling topics from the lesson study, and this episode centres around Isaiah 49:6 which says (ESV)

he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
    to raise up the tribes of Jacob
    and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
I will make you as a light for the nations,
    that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

This is quoted by Paul in Acts 13:47.
