“The RoseBouquet”

Jesus was aware (see verse, 14) that the Pharisees were out to kill Him, so He kept out of their way, but continued to heal people. He also warned them not to tell who He was. Matthew tells us that all this fulfilled how the prophet Isaiah had described God Chosen Servant.

In His own words, God tells us in that passage, (Isaiah 42:1-4), quoted here in Matthew, that the One He has chosen, and whom He loves and delights in, will have His Spirit upon Him. Jesus certainly did.

He will proclaim justice to the nations. Jesus did that. He will not quarrel or cry out or shout in the streets. Jesus was quiet like that.

He will be so gentle that He will not break off a reed, (a hollow stem of a plant), even when it is already bruised, nor will He snuff out a light that is still smoldering. Jesus saw potential in people long after others would have given up. He still does!

This Chosen Servant of God, will keep on until His justice leads to victory, and the nations all put their trust in Him. Jesus is still keeping on, and although peoples from many nations have trusted in Him, the day is coming when all of them will do so!

Jesus had and has the Holy Spirit, fully. He taught and brought justice for us all, and He is still very gentle with those who have the most fragile of trust in Him. Furthermore, He is pressing on, all these 2000+ years later, and will not let up, until His mission is accomplished, His followers are safe in Heaven, and there is justice throughout the earth!

PRAYER: Wow, Lord Jesus, what a marvelous agenda You have there! I need to review this from time to time, because sometimes I forget You really are the Spirit of Almighty God. You’re so very tender with me when I feel bruised and ready to break, or that my life is about extinguished. I’ve experienced that more times than I can recall. I”m glad You will lead justice to victory! All nations will hope in You one day, not just me. YES! Amen!
