[3446.94 --> 3450.70] God's servant will not shout out or cry out.
[3450.98 --> 3452.86] He will not raise his voice in the streets.
[3453.52 --> 3453.92] What?
[3455.64 --> 3457.82] He will not bruise a broken reed
[3457.82 --> 3459.40] or put out a smoldering wick.
[3459.82 --> 3460.08] What?
[3460.62 --> 3463.30] Isaiah means that he's careful to help the downtrodden,
[3463.66 --> 3464.86] the broken, the weak,
[3465.04 --> 3466.60] those who are barely holding on,
[3467.22 --> 3468.28] those with weak faith,
[3468.52 --> 3470.48] who feel it failing and tested
[3470.48 --> 3472.18] at every constant struggle.
[3472.18 --> 3475.84] He will not falter or be discouraged
[3475.84 --> 3479.14] till he establishes justice on the whole earth.
[3480.26 --> 3482.68] In faithfulness, he will bring forth justice.
[3483.00 --> 3486.80] In his teachings, the islands or nations will find hope.
[3487.50 --> 3488.06] What?
[3488.88 --> 3492.06] This is nothing like the liar or the tyrant
[3492.06 --> 3495.50] or the foolish Saul or Israel's expectations.
[3496.42 --> 3497.48] Where's the war?
[3498.40 --> 3500.36] Where's the part where God sends this guy
[3500.36 --> 3501.76] to kill his people's enemies?
[3502.76 --> 3505.36] Where's the part where this guy brings the wrath of God
[3505.36 --> 3506.62] to the people I hate?
[3508.00 --> 3509.26] That hurt me.
[3509.72 --> 3511.50] Where's the part where God destroys everything
[3511.50 --> 3513.14] that has made my life hard?
[3514.80 --> 3516.58] No, not yet.
[3517.08 --> 3517.70] Not now.
[3519.44 --> 3522.40] No, this servant of God, this Messiah,
[3522.84 --> 3524.18] the chosen one of God,
[3524.44 --> 3526.90] is meek and humble.
[3527.60 --> 3530.20] He will not shout or cry out or raise his voice.
[3530.20 --> 3533.02] He is the measure of self-control.
[3533.66 --> 3536.44] He is a teacher whose words bring hope.
[3537.26 --> 3538.54] Who when he comes from,
[3538.92 --> 3541.34] when he comes across the broken or the weakened faith,
[3541.42 --> 3543.74] he picks them up and breathes life back
[3543.74 --> 3546.64] into their weak flame and makes them into a fire again.
[3547.60 --> 3549.40] This man is unable to be discouraged,
[3549.64 --> 3551.26] unable to fail in weakness.
[3551.26 --> 3554.56] And in these ways, he will bring justice.
[3555.14 --> 3556.50] And not just to Israel,
[3557.08 --> 3559.38] but to every nation,
[3560.18 --> 3561.96] the whole world even.
[3561.96 --> 3567.24] God goes on to speak about this servant
[3567.24 --> 3568.84] in the second section I mentioned earlier.
[3569.46 --> 3570.78] But first in verse 5,
[3571.02 --> 3573.40] God describes his own character
[3573.40 --> 3575.76] and himself giving a foundation
[3575.76 --> 3576.98] for this servant's mission.
[3577.68 --> 3578.90] And what God will say in this
[3578.90 --> 3581.06] to his servant in verses 6 to 9.
[3581.58 --> 3583.40] God describes himself as the Lord,
[3584.00 --> 3586.24] the covenant name he gives to Moses,
[3586.74 --> 3588.80] the name by which Israel calls to be saved
[3588.80 --> 3592.12] from every calamity and enemy.
[3592.46 --> 3594.98] The name that their salvation is found in,
[3595.06 --> 3596.26] the name that is the foundation
[3596.26 --> 3597.94] of the covenant and the law.
[3598.54 --> 3599.86] This God describes himself
[3599.86 --> 3601.38] as the one who created the heavens
[3601.38 --> 3603.10] and stretches them over the earth
[3603.10 --> 3604.94] and spreads out the earth
[3604.94 --> 3606.60] with everything that springs from it.
[3607.68 --> 3609.14] God is the one who gives breath
[3609.14 --> 3610.58] to every being and life
[3610.58 --> 3612.08] to everything that walks.
[3613.14 --> 3615.46] This description does more than just tell us
[3615.46 --> 3618.12] how cool or awesome God is.
[3618.12 --> 3620.00] This passage is telling us
[3620.00 --> 3622.40] why he is sending this servant
[3622.40 --> 3623.64] to bring justice,
[3624.00 --> 3625.00] not just to Israel,
[3625.20 --> 3626.50] but to all nations.
[3627.18 --> 3628.54] Because as much as Israel
[3628.54 --> 3630.52] would not want to hear it at the time,
[3631.88 --> 3633.90] the Lord, though has chosen Israel,
[3634.20 --> 3636.42] has a plan for the rest as well.
[3637.60 --> 3639.16] God's heart is for his people
[3639.16 --> 3640.66] wherever they are found.
[3641.16 --> 3642.08] He made them all.
[3643.18 --> 3644.46] He gives them all breath
[3644.46 --> 3646.26] and he intends to give them
[3646.26 --> 3648.54] all justice as well.
[3650.24 --> 3651.98] And it is the Lord's servant
[3651.98 --> 3653.36] who will accomplish it.
[3654.36 --> 3656.42] Look back on verses 6 to 9
[3656.42 --> 3657.16] in your Bibles
[3657.16 --> 3658.44] and look what the Lord says
[3658.44 --> 3659.30] about his servant.
[3659.30 --> 3662.16] The Lord has called him
[3662.16 --> 3662.90] in righteousness.
[3663.30 --> 3664.68] He will take hold of his hand.
[3664.80 --> 3665.64] He will keep him.
[3665.98 --> 3666.98] He will make him a covenant
[3666.98 --> 3667.68] to the people.
[3668.12 --> 3669.14] He will make him a light
[3669.14 --> 3670.00] to the Gentiles.
[3670.08 --> 3671.10] He will open the eyes
