[3671.10 --> 3671.80] of the blind. |
[3672.18 --> 3673.66] He will free the captives |
[3673.66 --> 3674.80] and bring light |
[3674.80 --> 3676.26] to those who are in the dark. |
[3679.82 --> 3681.58] This is what you can expect. |
[3683.42 --> 3684.64] And now we get to read |
[3684.64 --> 3686.02] our other passage today. |
[3686.02 --> 3688.88] Matthew 12, 15 to 21. |
[3689.66 --> 3690.84] So follow along. |
[3692.92 --> 3693.88] Aware of this, |
[3694.06 --> 3695.82] Jesus withdrew from that place. |
[3696.50 --> 3698.06] A large crowd followed him |
[3698.06 --> 3699.52] and he healed all who were ill. |
[3700.04 --> 3700.88] He warned them |
[3700.88 --> 3702.62] not to tell others about him. |
[3703.14 --> 3704.12] This was to fulfill |
[3704.12 --> 3704.94] what was spoken |
[3704.94 --> 3706.54] through the prophet Isaiah. |
[3707.26 --> 3708.36] Here is my servant |
[3708.36 --> 3709.28] whom I have chosen, |
[3709.84 --> 3711.16] the one whom I love, |
[3711.84 --> 3713.12] the one in whom I delight. |
[3713.40 --> 3714.90] I will put my spirit on him |
[3714.90 --> 3715.98] and he will proclaim justice |
[3715.98 --> 3716.70] to the nations. |
[3717.56 --> 3718.54] He will not quarrel |
[3718.54 --> 3719.28] or cry out. |
[3719.70 --> 3721.06] No one will hear his voice |
[3721.06 --> 3721.68] in the streets. |
[3722.38 --> 3724.02] No, a bruised weed, |
[3724.22 --> 3725.18] a bruised reed, |
[3725.44 --> 3726.18] he will not break. |
[3726.46 --> 3727.28] And a smoldering wick, |
[3727.74 --> 3728.82] he will not stuff out. |
[3729.06 --> 3730.22] Till he has brought justice |
[3730.22 --> 3731.12] through to victory. |
[3731.50 --> 3732.16] In his name, |
[3732.26 --> 3733.42] the nations will put their hope. |
[3735.48 --> 3736.58] Matthew quotes |
[3736.58 --> 3738.62] the Isaiah passage from today |
[3738.62 --> 3739.70] as proof |
[3739.70 --> 3741.46] that Jesus is the Messiah. |
[3742.34 --> 3743.34] Matthew is writing here |
[3743.34 --> 3745.42] that Jesus is the servant |
[3745.42 --> 3747.30] spoken of in Isaiah 42. |
[3747.94 --> 3748.86] And he's highlighting |
[3748.86 --> 3750.68] how when Jesus heals the crowd, |
[3751.40 --> 3753.98] he doesn't want them |
[3753.98 --> 3754.76] to tell people. |
[3756.24 --> 3756.84] Why? |
[3758.00 --> 3759.56] Because like the character |
[3759.56 --> 3760.98] of the servant described, |
[3761.78 --> 3762.42] he's humble. |
[3763.20 --> 3764.02] He's meek. |
[3764.70 --> 3766.18] He's not looking to gloat |
[3766.18 --> 3768.46] or present himself as great. |
[3769.20 --> 3770.16] He was quiet, |
[3771.04 --> 3771.52] intentional. |
[3772.80 --> 3774.08] And in keeping them quiet, |
[3774.20 --> 3775.26] Jesus is showing us |
[3775.26 --> 3775.94] and them, |
[3776.22 --> 3777.38] it's not about the fame |
[3777.38 --> 3778.34] or the prestige |
[3778.34 --> 3779.72] or about being lauded |
[3779.72 --> 3780.62] as some hero. |
[3781.28 --> 3782.92] As it says in Philippians 2, |
[3783.04 --> 3783.64] 6 to 8, |
[3784.34 --> 3786.48] who being in the very nature God, |
[3786.66 --> 3788.46] did not consider equality with God |
[3788.46 --> 3789.86] something to be used |
[3789.86 --> 3791.14] for his own advantage. |
[3791.74 --> 3792.08] Rather, |
[3792.20 --> 3793.16] he made himself nothing |
[3793.16 --> 3794.74] by taking on the very nature |
[3794.74 --> 3796.22] of a servant. |
[3796.22 --> 3799.36] Being made in human likeness |
[3799.36 --> 3800.10] and being found |
[3800.10 --> 3801.20] in an appearance as a man, |
[3801.66 --> 3802.56] he humbled himself |
[3802.56 --> 3804.46] by becoming obedient to death, |
[3804.62 --> 3806.08] even death on a cross. |
[3807.84 --> 3810.32] Jesus came to be a servant |
[3810.32 --> 3812.16] and not just any servant, |
[3812.62 --> 3815.18] but the servant of the Lord |
[3815.18 --> 3816.26] in Isaiah 42. |
[3817.70 --> 3819.44] And when studying for this passage, |
[3819.58 --> 3820.10] the realization |
[3820.10 --> 3822.24] that just blew me away |
[3822.24 --> 3824.50] was that when Jesus was a child |
[3824.50 --> 3826.16] and learning from the Torah |
[3826.16 --> 3827.08] and the prophets, |
[3827.46 --> 3828.14] as it says, |
[3828.22 --> 3829.38] he learned and grew in wisdom, |
[3830.12 --> 3830.90] that when this, |
[3831.12 --> 3832.38] when he read this passage |
[3832.38 --> 3832.92] in Isaiah, |
[3833.60 --> 3834.96] he knew it was his father |
[3834.96 --> 3835.82] speaking to him. |
[3839.56 --> 3840.84] So that when he goes |
[3840.84 --> 3841.44] to the temple |
