Today's Passage - Matthew 12:16-21

You don't want to miss this.

River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Matthew 12:16-21 He warned them not to tell others about him. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he leads justice to victory. In his name the nations will put their hope." These verses mentioned the work Jesus did on earth. He performed miracles with the spirit of God such that His words had authority. Jesus didn't perform any miracle before He was thirty. When He started preaching at thirty, the anointing of Holy Spirit descended on Him. When He preached, He did it with authority. When He casted demons and prayed, He had power. The Holy Spirit descended on Him so that blind could see, lame could walk, and those persecuted were set free. Those who serve God need to seek the anointing power of the Holy Spirit. By our true nature, no one can serve God. Only when we lean on God, get close to God, start receiving the anointing of Holy Spirit, can we bring out authority and power in our service.  . The Lord not only had Holy Spirit in Him, but also preached the truth to gentiles. Jesus had one mission, that was to bring salvation not only to Jews, but also to Gentiles, to all the peoples. It is not God's will to save a few, but all nations and all peoples. This is what mentioned in John 3:16's "God so loved the world". This verse didn't say "God loved few" or "God loved Jews", but, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." God's heart is grand. He wanted all to be saved, not a single one to fall. The Lord came to this world to preach the truth to all nations. .    Jesus humbly came to this world. Born in a manger. Spent thirty three and half years on earth. In the end, He was crucified on the cross to bear our pains in silence. On that cross, He personally absolved all our sins, and bore all the punishment for us so that we could be set free. Because He suffered for us on the cross, bore the punishment for our sins, He understood the pains in our heart suffering under evil authorities. He also understood that our lives were like that of a bruised reed, a smoldering wick. He would bring comfort, salvation to those who needed it. We are the bruised reed but he will not break. We are the smoldering wick that He will not snuff out, how incredibly precious that is! Pray with Pastor Tong Lord, we thank you because you have borne all our weakness on the cross. Even though we are like a bruised reed, a smoldering wick, you will never cast us away. May your love pour down on us. Whenever we look upon to you, may your salvation come. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
