  1. The Gentle And Just Servant …A dimly burning wick He will not extinguish…

  2. The Background • Book can be divided up much like the Testaments. • First 39 contain judgments, discuss problem of sin. • Last 27 contain messages of good news and hope. • Isaiah talks of special servant called Messiah. • Servant would succeed everywhere Israel failed. • Seemingly contradictory statements about this servant led many to believe there had to be 2!

  3. The Servant Songs • First Song: The Gentle And Just Servant. • Isa. 42:1-4 • Second Song: The Chosen Light and Mighty Servant. • Isa. 49:1-13 • Third Song: The Obedient And Humiliated Servant. • Isa. 50:4-11 • Fourth Song: The Suffering And Sacrificed Servant. • Isa. 52:13-53:12

  4. A Closer Look At This Song • Chosen by God. • God delights in Him. • God’s Spirit was upon Him. • He would bring justice to nations. • He would be incredibly gentle. (Matt. 12:17-21) • He wouldn’t be crushed until He had established justice. • He will be bringing a new law. Isaiah 42:1-4

  5. The Lord’s Message To His Servant • I called you, I will watch over you. • I will appoint you as covenant; light. • Luke 2:32, Rom. 15:12 • Your mission: heal blind, release captives. • See also Isa. 61, Luke 4:18, Isaiah 42:5-7

  6. The Need For A Gentle Servant • God’s people were: • Blind • Deaf • Facing rugged obstacles • Idolaters • Imprisoned • Law breakers • Unaware God was trying to teach them a lesson. Isaiah 42:8-25

  7. The Message For Us • God’s chosen ruler was a gentle and just servant. How do we act as His followers? • Jesus came to free people from sin and blindness. Have we taken advantage of this?
