Welcome to The MHB Podcast. This is Michael Baun. And welcome to my 107th episode. In this episode I want to continue with our study of the book of Isaiah. This will be chapter 42. This chapter is the first of four servant songs. A servant song is like a poem or a prophecy that speaks of Jesus Christ. This particular servant song is directly quoted in the New Testament as well – you can find it in Matthew chapter 12. For the Israelites who were exiled in Babylon, hearing Isaiahās prophecy would have brought encouragement to their hearts. Godās promise to bring them home and raise up a future Messiah gave them a reason to look forward. The same is true for us today. You donāt have to scratch very far beneath the surface of any individualās life before you find some measure of extreme difficulty or sadness. Even if you yourself arenāt struggling itās likely someone you love is. So allow this chapter to be a balm for your soul. Allow Isaiahās insight into the character of our Lord be an encouragement to you. See that the promises of God give you reason to continue moving forward – even unto death. Letās begin with verses 1-4:
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.
Isa 42:2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;
Isa 42:3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.
Isa 42:4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
We can be certain that these verses are a presentation of Jesus Christ. The Father commands us to behold Him with the eyes of faith so that we may admire Him. The Fatherās relationship to Jesus is such that He has full and total confidence in Him. The Father and Christ are one. When Jesus made that claim it really upset the Pharisees because they didnāt believe Jesus is God. The interconnected being of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit reveals a nature in Jesus that is honorable, remarkable, and above every circumstance. He is the eternal Logos. The Word of truth. He has always existed beside the Father and the Spirit. When Jesus took on human form He willingly accepted the form of a servant. He became the Mediator between humanity and God. He learned Godās will and He practiced it. His life was fully surrendered to the advancement of the kingdom of God.
This was a role Christ was called to. Out of the Fatherās infinite wisdom He chose Jesus because only Jesus was equal to the task. Who could possibly reconcile humanity to God other than God Himself? So He bestowed confidence in Jesus that would guide His steps to the cross – and guide our own steps into glory. Godās love for us means that He will not allow us to bear the crushing burden of saving ourselves. The Father upheld Jesus throughout His earthly ministry. He stood beside Him and He strengthened Him. Today Jesus offers the same for us.
The Fatherās soul delights in Jesus. There is a sense of perfect, unending love and trust between them. This delight has been shared between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for all of eternity – before anything else was ever brought into being. In regards to Christās work on the cross, the Father expressed particular satisfaction and love because the Son had laid down His life for us. Jesus is the be-all and end-all. The first and the last. We should let our souls delight in Christ as the Father Himself does. We should rely on Him, rejoice in Him, and be united to Him. And through the Son the Father will be pleased with us.
The Father placed the Holy Spirit on Jesus to empower Him for the work of restoring humanity. In other instances throughout Scripture we see the Holy Spirit come in measured ways to help Godās other servants. But it was different with Jesus. The Spirit not only came to Jesus, but He rested on Jesus in fullness of being. Since the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit has been available for us as well – thanks to the work Christ accomplished on the cross. And so when you put your faith in Jesus and commit your life to Him, the Holy Spirit indwells you, upholds you, and sanctifies you so that the Father becomes well pleased with you.
Jesus will bring forth justice to all the world. As a consequence of His first coming, the Gentiles (or people who did not belong to Judaism) were given a path to come under the guidance of God and a way to enjoy the blessings of such guidance. So for the Gentiles Christ was like a guiding light. But He carried the weight of His task in silence and with mild tenderness. He did not strive or cry out against opposition. He wasnāt heralded from place to place the way great princes or kings were. Crowds did follow Him eventually but He took steps to delay and minimize that rather than embrace it. He patiently endured the contradiction sinners made against Himself. There was nothing pompous about Jesus despite the fact that He is King over all. The Kingdom of God is spiritual and its weapons are not of this world -and so it goes beyond our observation.
Jesus was and is patient with wicked people. He applies pressure to the sinful while giving them room to repent rather than immediately breaking them. Sin is offensive to God but for our own good He bears with us as He did with the Israelites. Heās merciful on the weak and on those whose vitality flickers faintly like a dying flame. If you are oppressed with doubts and fears He will not despise you for it nor will He come against you with His great power. If you follow God He will not saddle you with more work or suffering than you can bear. His will is not to break you, rather to strengthen you and watch you grow from a bruised reed into a mighty cedar. God knows your frame, He remembers that you are dust. He accepts your willingness of spirit while pardoning and passing by the weakness of your condition. His grace is His power that is made perfect in your weakness.
Jesus moved forward with courage and constancy as He undertook His mission to the cross. He could foresee how ungrateful the world would be yet He labored without fail until He was able to say: It is finished. By the power of the Holy Spirit God imbued His apostles and ministers to march forward with this same courage and constancy. He will do this for you today if you commit to work for Him. Jesus sealed the truth of His word with a long line of miracles that came to a climax in the resurrection. By rising from the dead, He made Christianity the worldās only falsifiable faith. If you want to prove that nothing He said was true, all you have to do is find His body. But you wonāt because He is risen.
The words of Christ echo through history and build civilizations that would have never been possible without Him. The power of His gospel and His grace gave humanity principles that allowed them to access wisdom the scale of which entire epochs of time could not produce on their own. Just think of how far weāve come in the mere 2,000 years since Christ ascended. If you put that progress on an evolutionary timescale youād see nothing but a flat line across millions of years and then a spike toward the heavens starting just two millennia ago. Reverence of God grants humanity access to wisdom.
The name of a carpenter who walked dusty roads 2,000 years ago has reached every corner of the world. Now you canāt get away from the name of Jesus. This thought really struck me as I was touring a psychiatric facility in rural America one evening. I went into this sub-level where there were no windows. There I listened to a chaplain give a sermon about Jesus. I thought to myself: He lived two thousand years ago. All the way across the Atlantic – in a desert. His ministry only lasted 3 years. Yet here we are in the basement of a psychiatric hospital on the other side of the world worshiping Him. Could it be that we always knew His gospel would reach us? Could it be that we patiently awaited it all this time? Letās read verses 5-12:
Isa 42:5 Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:
Isa 42:6 āI am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations,
Isa 42:7 to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.
Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.ā
Sing to the Lord a New Song
Isa 42:10 Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.
Isa 42:11 Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the habitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isa 42:12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands.
These verses begin with the commission God gave the Messiah. God made Himself known and separated Himself from human idols by addressing Himself with royal titles. He is the origin of all being and all power flows from Him. God stretches the universe in continued expansion. He laid out the wonders of nature and established its complex web of life. He breathed life into humanity and has given us the unique capacity for rational thought. There are a couple reasons why God prefaced the Messiahās commission with these attributes about Himself. One is to show that God holds the authority to make such a covenant and that Heās powerful enough to finish it through. Another is that His grand design of redemption was to maintain the honor of the Creator and restore humanity to the allegiance we owe God as our Maker.
Messiah was given encouragement from the Father that He would be with Him every step of the way to the cross. God offers this same assurance to those of us who trust Him and walk through this life by faith. If you can imagine yourself living during the time that Jesus was making claims to be the Messiah you would probably react one of two ways. Either you would recognize the truth that God called Him to the role of Mediator between humanity and the Father – or you would think that Jesus seized this honor as a self-titled narcissist.
The Pharisees and others, in their faithlessness, made the mistake of missing the truth that Jesus is in fact God Himself. They failed to understand that He was called by the Father in righteousness and that He was the only one who could truly honor the Father and accomplish His perfect word in every step of His life. Jesus is both fully human and fully God – and itās the fully God part that allowed Him to carry out the impossible task of redeeming the world without even the slightest mistake. You and I make mistakes everyday – but if we call on God to give us His strength to do His will then we can be certain that He will use us to glorify Himself.
The purpose of Jesus voluntarily suffering is to bring abundance of comfort to humanity. He gave Himself as a covenant for all people so that through Him we may choose to access the grace of God. The gospel of Jesus Christ has brought into the world both light and liberty. He is a light because He reveals to us what is in our own best interest and opens our blind eyes so that we might know it. With the gospel comes a great light to those who struggle in darkness. This is why Paul, in his mission to share the gospel, was said to open the eyes of the Gentiles. Jesus is the light of the world. Christ also brings liberty to those who have the faith to accept Him. Cyrus liberated the Israelites while they were in Babylonian captivity – he opened the prison doors so that they might go home. Jesus goes further in that He not only opens the cell, but He takes your hand and walks you into freedom. Then He empowers you to use your new-found liberty to liberate others and show them His grace.
The validity of the gospel is ratified and confirmed by God Himself. By no other name has the certainty of His promise been sealed. The world around us is evidence of Godās power to bring it all into being and so you can take comfort in the fact that your eternity with Him will also be brought into being. God takes the greatest responsibility of salvation onto Himself because He will not share His glory with anyone else. Idols and the machinations of humanity are simply unable to stand in competition with Him. A huge part of Jesus opening the eyes of the blind is turning them away from idolatry in which there is no hope of a future. You already know this is true. I think itās in part why you get bored of temporal things. Go ahead and take that which you most enjoy then picture yourself doing it for eternity. Thereās nothing of this world that fails to become meaningless when measured against eternity. Love is perhaps the only exception – but thatās because love is not from this world, love is from God.
Scripture presents us with a record of God fulfilling His promises. These are evidence of the truth of His word and the kindness He holds for His people. God has gotten humanity this far without a single word of His promises failing. Isaiahās audience was given the same benefit because they had a record of God fulfilling the promises He had made to the patriarchal fathers. So this new promise of a Messiah was presented to them with a backdrop of Godās historical reliability. Godās New Testament promise differed from His Old Testament promise insofar as He would bring spiritual blessings in heavenly things rather than a fruitful country and worldly dominion for the kingdom of Israel. Modern readers can review the record of Godās fulfilled promises to His people and be inspired to invest full confidence in His ability and desire to be compassionate on us at this very moment.
The comfort and security of Godās promise motivates the adulation that is the cause of our songs of praise and worship today. For the ancient reader this would be a new song because the promise to give Christ as a light for the Gentiles was new and very surprising. Bringing in the Gentiles to be fellow-heirs of the kingdom of God was a mystery Paul said was not made known in other generations. For ages the Jews would not take their songs of praise and worship outside of the Temple or translate them into foreign languages. But now the name of Jesus is sung all across the world in nearly every language. The Gentiles and the Jews – indeed all people of all nations – are now given the opportunity to share in the blessings of God and therefore may join in praise and worship. The songs about Jesus have reached the furthest corners of the earth. That goes back to what I was saying about my reflections as I watched the patients in the lower levels of a psychiatric hospital so far removed from ancient Jerusalem sing praise to Him.
Mariners and merchants sang praise to Jesus as they worked their businesses off of the endowment of life that God had filled the oceans with. These people were likely Gentiles because Jews didnāt do much trading at sea. Praise and worship had reached the islands and the coast lands which was probably a reference to the islands of Greece. This would be territory that was west of Jerusalem. The wilderness and its cities, as well as the villages of Kedar, were east of Jerusalem. So the gospel was shared and praise was lifted up from the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun. Prior to the work of Jesus the Gentile world had been like a wilderness that was cut off from Godās church. It was uncultivated and brought forth no fruit but the toxicity of the errant ways of humanity. The cruel and barbarous mountaineer people became civilized by the gospel. Everywhere Christianity takes root the quality of human existence improves and that is for the glory of God – so that Christians make it their joyous pleasure to love and honor Him. Letās read verses 13-17:
Isa 42:13 The LORD goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.
Isa 42:14 For a long time I have held my peace; I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.
Isa 42:15 I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools.
Isa 42:16 And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them.
Isa 42:17 They are turned back and utterly put to shame, who trust in carved idols, who say to metal images, āYou are our gods.ā
The gospel represents God unleashing His divine power and energy into the world. This is evidenced by the efficacy it has had in tearing down the stronghold of evil. Of course, there are still dark places in the world but overall itās nothing near as horrific as it used to be. For ages God patiently endured the nations to walk in their own ways, but now He has gone out like a mighty conqueror. Through the gospel Jesus has reformed individuals and transformed entire communities. Western civilization – the safest and most advanced society in history – was built on the axioms of His words.
The apostles were like soldiers of Jesus Christ, each one suffering persecution and death in the war effort to overturn evil. The ministers of Christ preached in authenticity and anguished for the people until they saw Christ emerge in their souls. The preached the danger of facing death without reconciliation through Jesus which was a message more terrifying than the roar of a lion. But they followed it with gospel blessings of comfort, stability, and well-being that resulted from being at peace with God. All of this to awaken a sleeping world. Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, has prevailed against His enemies by turning them into His friends. Paul was a shining example of this. For 2,000 years the efforts of those who have attempted to snuff out the gospel have ended in silence and shame.
In the culmination of His work Jesus will destroy and devour the powers of darkness. Satan will fall as lightning and the power of death will be broken forever. A version of this outcome was typified in the liberation of the Israelites from Babylon. Cyrus humbled the proud, broke the power of Israelās oppressor, and devoured the Babylonian empire. The Persian army laid waste to the mountains and hills. They carried off forage or destroyed it. The put bridges and boats over rivers to turn them into islands and drained the water from low-lying areas to make way for the march of their army. Little did they know that one day the gospel would be preached and they had just cleared many of its obstacles.
God gave favor and grace to those whose spirits were stirred up to follow Him. Exiles who didnāt know the way back to Jerusalem asked Him and He revealed it to them. He does this for us today as well. He guides those who are spiritually blind yet earnestly seek Him. He directs those who are under the convictions of sin and wrath and those who are at a loss for what to do with themselves. He shows them how to find Him and He brings people into their lives to lead them – all they have to do is have the humility to listen. Godās desire is to show everyone the way to life and happiness in Jesus Christ.
You can see an order of events take place when it came to Paulās conversion. First he was struck blind and then when Christ was revealed in Him the scales fell from his eyes. When individuals first encounter God they donāt have the intellectual framework to understand the truth of Him. But as God continues to turn their darkness into light this knowledge comes more easily. Initial conversion finds many new Christians in a place where keeping Godās commands seems impractical or insuperable. Iām not talking about that first honeymoon year where the new Christian is on fire for Christ. Iām talking about when that excitement wears off and the realities of life kick back in. We find ourselves weak in duty and with many difficulties standing between us and obedience. But God is the One who makes these crooked paths straight. God is one the levels the ground before us and guides us in the right direction. The Holy Spirit sanctifies you, you donāt sanctify yourself. As this process matures in you (maybe it takes your whole life) the way becomes plain and the yoke becomes easy.
This process was also typified in the Israelites returning home from exile. He led the Jews on a ready road to their homeland. They were able to surmount what would have perplexed and embarrassed them without God. And you often hear people say that salvation and Godās grace seems too good to be true. This is why many critics of religion suggest it is simply a coping mechanism for dealing with the hardships of existence. The proposition that Godās promises are too good to be true depends on the premise that His promises are something weāve earned. This just isnāt the case. God does them of His own will and because of His own word and thatās also why He never forsakes His promises. He gives us great love and mercy but itās never because we deserve it.
For those who continue to put their faith in idols even in light of the gospel – these people are stricken with deep confusion. The Israelites being rescued from Babylon is a nice historical analogy for this. The Babylonians worshiped the false god Marduk. Babylon once marked the height of human achievement and so almost everyone who toured the city thought Marduk must be the most true and most powerful god. The Israelites who remained faithful while in captivity despised idols like Marduk. But then when Cyrus leveled the Babylonian empire and the Israelites were the ones to walk free – maybe then the worship of Marduk began to look as foolish as it actually was. This is what routinely happens to those who look to scientific advancement for answers to transcendent questions. There was once a time when humanityās greatest scientists concluded that the earth was flat. But today belief in a flat earth is a marker of shameful ignorance. So we have to be careful not to make idols out of our own designs. Letās read verses 18-25:
Isa 42:18 Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see!
Isa 42:19 Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as my dedicated one, or blind as the servant of the LORD?
Isa 42:20 He sees many things, but does not observe them; his ears are open, but he does not hear.
Isa 42:21 The LORD was pleased, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify his law and make it glorious.
Isa 42:22 But this is a people plundered and looted; they are all of them trapped in holes and hidden in prisons; they have become plunder with none to rescue, spoil with none to say, āRestore!ā
Isa 42:23 Who among you will give ear to this, will attend and listen for the time to come?
Isa 42:24 Who gave up Jacob to the looter, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they would not walk, and whose law they would not obey?
Isa 42:25 So he poured on him the heat of his anger and the might of battle; it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand; it burned him up, but he did not take it to heart.
Those who were faithful among the Israelite exiles were comforted and guided back home. But these verses are addressed to the Israelites in Babylonian captivity who insisted on disbelief in God. You can think of these people as similar to those who lived and walked at the time of Jesus but rejected Him and were rejected by Him. These were like the Pharisees and the religious elite who despised Christ and His claims of being the Messiah. Instead of inheriting blessing, these people were broken, ruined, and remained dispersed.
On first reading it might seem absurd that God is calling the deaf to hear and the blind to see. But what this means is that despite their deep confusion – these people still had some bearing on good and evil. They had natural power within themselves to strive for the good and God would have given them supernatural grace had they chosen to do so. I made an episode a while back that talked about doing it badly. That is MHB 73. The idea was that you always start out insufficient for the task at hand. You canāt do anything meaningful without being mediocre at it when you first begin.
Godās call to these people and His call to you is to have the faith to jump out and try it anyway. In Markās gospel the man with the withered hand was told to stretch it out. Obviously he couldnāt do this because it was withered. But he tried anyway and after he tried Jesus healed him. In the same way, if you want to do great things for God you have to start out by doing little and clumsy things for God. His divine power will work with your faithful action to make you better.
The idolatrous Gentiles were deaf and blind as had already been established. But Isaiah points to the fact that this deafness and blindness had made its way into the Israelites themselves – people who professed faith in God. Many of them were given over to drunkenness so much so that they were blinded by it. Many of them were so stubborn that it made them deaf to wisdom. The problem with the Israelites was that their blindness was willful. When the best among us are corrupted they often become the worst. This is why it shocks so many people when someone commits a crime that is not befitting of their reputed character. The worst people among the Israelites were those who were able to articulate and understand the great truth of God yet willingly rebelled against it.
Itās always worse when someone calls themselves a Christian, understands the proper path, yet pridefully turns to the side and embraces their malevolence. These are people who are intellectually sound yet spiritually blind. This is the predatory pastor or priest. These people were the religious elite that Jesus so forcefully condemned. They knew how to put on the camouflage of religion while remaining monsters on the inside. They lived lives fully imbued with deception. It is in them the greater sin and shame, the greater dishonor to God, and to themselves a greater damnation.
Jesus said of these people that they will indeed hear but never understand, they will indeed see but never perceive. Their ears are shut and their eyes are closed, they cannot hear or see and so cannot turn to Christ and be healed. The multitudes who see and understand the gospel yet turn away from it do not perish out of ignorance but out of mere carelessness. The Jews who lived during Christās time got to see Him do miracles and listen to wisdom straight from the mouth of God Himself. Yet many of them hardened their hearts and refused to listen – and so it became worse for them than had they never heard at all.
Salvation is kind of like a train whose destination is the glory of God. The train will depart toward its objective whether youāre on it or not. The unbelief of the Israelites was of no effect on the promises of God. He lost no glory in it. God was well pleased in the manifestation of His righteousness even if that meant rejecting those who had rejected salvation. The religious elite who condemned Jesus were simply cast off to outer darkness while the Gentiles were brought in close to the light. Godās Word is honorable and wise, it doesnāt depend on humanity to make it that way. God magnifies His Word Himself – He is the source of its authority and efficacy. When humanity defies it humanity crumbles and must reestablish itself in accordance with it. The final magnification of Godās Word will occur with the final judgment where the godly and wicked are separated forever.
So the Israelites who knew and understood yet refused the light in favor of darkness were very bad people. In Babylon their destiny was to be plundered and looted. The unrepentant Israelites doomed themselves to perpetual captivity even after Cyrus cleared the empire. Their sinful nature had possessed them and made them unwilling to help themselves. They became trapped in pits of misery and no one could rescue them because no one could find them. They became like prisoners stuck in a cell and forgotten by the jailers. Themselves and all their possessions were like spoil for oppressors whom no one dared to stop.
Despite the fact that they had so thoroughly given themselves over to darkness, God still didnāt give up on them. Since they were deaf to His word, God decided to use his rod to get their attention. This is something you should keep in mind for those whom youāve long reasoned with to no avail. It might not be words that they are going to listen to. It might be active punishment from God that will bring them down off of their pride so they can re-calibrate. This is not your territory and not something you can do for them – only God. But we should also remember that it doesnāt have to get this bad for any of us. We are all invited to hear the word of God.
Those of us who listen should do so with eternity in our hearts. Itās true that we need to be mindful and responsible for the life that we have now. But I donāt think we can do this to full effect if we arenāt walking through life in light of eternity. You just act and think differently when your mind is set on eternity. Eternity makes an adjustment to your mode of being. This adjustment is necessary in order for you to live your best life in the present moment. But for those who are unwilling to listen to Godās words, Heās ready and willing to hit you with a rod if thatās what it takes to lead you to salvation.
He hit the unrepentant Israelites with a rod and then counseled them on what to take from it. The first point they needed to accept was that God was behind their affliction – He was the primary agent regardless of the instrument. The Israelites were once heavenly minded and dominant in their region – but now they were given over to plunderers in the Babylonians and later the Romans. God wanted them to know that it was He who gave them over for this treatment. If they accepted that God did it, then they could see that they had provoked His wrath by abandoning His ways in favor of their own. Isaiah counts himself among the sinners when he urges the people to understand that it was against God whom they have transgressed.
The Israelites would never have been given up to Babylon had they not sold themselves by their iniquities. But since they violated His commands God poured out his fury on them through the desolation of war. The Israelites needed to learn that there was no way to resist Godās anger and that sin had provoked a universal conflagration around them. Those who refused to repent under the rod of Godās anger simply increased the intensity of judgment upon them.
And this is at the heart of why God punishes anyone. If youāre walking towards an eternity separated from God – the last thing Heās going to do is make you comfortable with that. He loves you too much to let you go without a fight. He desires you to be with Him. And so the only thing thatās really stopping you is the only thing thatās stopped anyone going all the way back to Cain. Itās pride. If youāre afflicted by Godās wrath yet captivated by pride then you will refuse to acknowledge that the problem is with yourself. Your pride will make you believe the problem must be with the world or with God. Instead of having the humility to change yourself you will want the nature of reality to change for you. But the problem with recreating the world in our own image is that our own image contains the very darkness that produces evil. So if we were left to our own devices for long enough – the world we would create (and have created before) is something approximating hell. Our only hope to continue marching forward to the kingdom of God is to turn to and depend on the One who is light without darkness.
