“A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoking wick he will not put out.” Isaiah 42:3
This is the Holy Spirit describing the Messiah. Do you KNOW how comforting this description is? Have you ever been bruised? When I go to Winco I will never buy a bruised piece of anything, and if flowers to fruit in my house begin to wither and bruise I simply throw them into the garbage can. But Jesus will not break those who are bruised. No one likes a smoking candle after it has been blown out. Lick your fingers and put it out of it’s misery. Not so with Jesus. He blows on our souls with just the right intensity to burst us into flame once again, and he binds up the broken hearted until they are ready to love with intensity once again. This is good news, that if God who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how much more shall he freely give us all things.
