Isaiah 42:1-9

Through Jesus Christ, God’s Servant, God’s Son, our Saviour, God calls us to be saved by Him and to become His servants. We’re to be “a light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:60.

All the glory belongs to Him (Isaiah 42:8).

He will lead us forward into great blessing: “new events” (Isaiah 42:9). This directs our attention to Jesus.

We now look back to Jesus - but we also look forward from Him to the glorious future He is preparing for us. Here, on earth, we have “a foretaste of glory divine.” In heaven, it will be the real thing.
