Summary

Isaiah 42:1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. The first few verses of Isaiah 42 is a servant song. Isaiah prophecies the coming of Jesus, the Servant of God. “Behold My Servant” is God speaking. Jesus pleases God. God delights in him. He fulfills God’s plan. He establishes God’s universal kingdom of justice and righteousness. v 2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. Jesus did not seize power by violence, by screaming for attention, by assaulting the crowds with fiery speeches and political propaganda. He came in gentleness, caring for the sick and speaking God’s truth plainly. v 3 A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. Are you a bruised reed? Are you damaged, hurting, weak? Jesus came for you. And he will not break you, but nurse you in your pain and grief. Mend you. Heal you. Are you a candle smoking about to go out, guttering, flickering out, discouraged, sad, losing hope, losing faith? Is this you? Look to Jesus. He has medicine for those losing hope and faith, the discouraged, the depressed. He will not extinguish your flame, but give you new fire and bring you back to a glow again. He gives faith and encouragement. He loves bruised reeds and smoking candles. v 7 To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house. Do you sit in the darkness of the prison house of your own heart and your own sin? Do you sit in the darkness of the prison house of this evil world of death and violence, injustice and terror? Do you sit in the darkness of the prison house of your own pain and sorrow? Only Jesus can bring out prisoners from the prison of this evil age, this world of sorrow. He has ransomed us, he made the payment of his body and blood. On the day that he returns to us, he will lead us out into the light.
