Isaiah 42:1-25
‘Here
is My Servant, whom I uphold, my Chosen One in whom I delight; I will
put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations’ (Isaiah
42:1). Lord, these words turn our thoughts towards Your Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ. At His baptism, we hear Your voice – ‘This is My Son, whom
I love; with Him I am well pleased’. At His baptism, we see ‘the Spirit
of God coming down like a dove and resting on Him’. Jesus is the
fulfilment of Your Word of prophecy: ‘All mankind shall see the Saviour
sent from God’. After His resurrection, we hear Jesus Himself speaking.
He says, ‘Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit…’ (Matthew 12:15-21;
3:16-17; 28:18-20; Luke 3:6). Help us, Lord, to bring Christ to the
nations. Help us to serve You in the power of the Spirit.
