Behold My Servant
"Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; Mine Elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon Him:
He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called Thee in righteousness, and will hold Thine hand, and will keep Thee, and give Thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house" (Isa. 42:1-7).
The LORD Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth here exhorts, and even commands men to behold His Servant, to consider His Servant, to give the more earnest heed to His Servant, to look at His Servant, to look unto His Servant, and to draw nigh unto God through His Servant. His Servant is none other than His Christ, His Elect, His Chosen One, His Anointed One, the Lord Jesus Christ, Him Who is the Resurrection and the Life, Him Who is the first-begotten from the dead, Him, Who did lay down His life a ransom for many, and Who is the Savior of all men, specially of those who believe.
