Matthew 12:18, 20, 21 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles….A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Matthew quotes the Messianic Servant Song from Isaiah 42 to reveal Jesus as the promised Christ. In the context of healing a withered hand on the Sabbath and driving out a blind and dumb demon. Matthew connects Jesus to the prophecy with a promise for Gentiles: He will send forth judgment unto victory.
The Lord God has declared Jesus to be His servant and His beloved. He is chosen and God is well pleased with Him. He is anointed with the Spirit to carry out the mission of bringing judgment unto victory for all people. All Sin, Evil, Death, Disease, Devil, and demons are judged by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This chosen and beloved Servant, through gentle humility, suffering, and death, has violently judged Evil and secured Victory for all.
We are among those Gentiles who “trust in his name.” The promise is for me, and I believe it: Jesus Christ, the Beloved Servant, has violently overthrown and demolished my Enemies and earned total victory for me. Now I live free!
