Isaiah 42 tells of the coming of the promised Messiah and speaks of His role as the suffering servant. It speaks of Jesus' ministry as one of gentleness and mercy to sinners. "by misery he is brought to see sin as the cause, so that, a bruised reed and a smoking flax, make up together the state of a poor, distressed man. Our Savior Christ terms 'poor in spirit', who sees his wants, and also sees himself indebted to divine justice, with no means of supply from himself" (Bruised Reed, pg. 3-4).
