CONSIDER the attention called to Him and what is here said of Him by God (1) He is called His Servant whom He hath chosen. (2) His beloved in whom His soul is well pleased. This is what He is in His relation to God—His chosen Servant, the well-beloved of His soul in whom He is well pleased. And this is a matter of serious importance to us. (3) He promises to put His Spirit upon Him. (4) He gives it to Him as His work to show judgment to the Gentiles. (5) The character which He displays in doing this work. (a) Peacefulness. He shall not strive nor cry, neither shall any man hear His voice in the streets; (b) Compassion and gentleness towards the weak, the bowed down, the penitent, the languishing—a bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench. (6) His success—Till He send forth judgment unto victory, and in His name shall the Gentiles trust. Till He send forth judgment unto victory: (a) In the souls of his people one by one; (b) In the world by making His religion to rule the world and by which all opposing systems and abounding iniquities shall be brought to an end. He will do this because He is chosen of God to do it, for His soul delights in Him and because He has put His Spirit upon Him to do it. He is in every way qualified to do it.
