July 18 – The Messiah - Isaiah 42:1-4
Isaiah gives a portrait and snapshot of the Messiah. He is the servant of the Lord and is upheld
By the Lord. He is the chosen one in whom the Lord delights. He will have the Holy Spirit on Him.
This was what happened in the Old Testament. He will bring justice to the nations. This means
Right now, that is not what is happening.
He will not cry out, shout, or raise His voice in the street. He will not be an activist. He will be gentle
In his approach and manner. He will be faithful in the practice of justice and fairness. He will not falter,
Backdown, backout or become discouraged. He will establish and bring justice and righteousness to the
earth. In his teachings even the nations located on Islands will put their hope in Him. A perfect portrait
of Jesus Christ.
