Bruised Reed and the Servant King

5pm Service

West 79th/Bway

Dr. Tim Keller

Come by. I sit in the back/middle section most Sundays :).

Isaiah 42:3

"A bruised reed he will not break,

and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.

In faithfulness he will bring forth justice."

Quoting TK from tonight's sermon:

"Jesus is attracted to the hard cases. Inside you are dying. Your candle about to go out."

"He won't break the reed."

"He is what you need."

"Put yourself in His care."

"He was great enough to become low."

"Are you becoming like Him, the Servant King?"

"He will right all that has ever gone wrong."

"The only thing that will heal your heart is hearing, Beloved Child."

He was bruised (took the death blow) (Gen 3:15) receiving the poison of the serpent to save me.

Jesus took the rectifying justice so that we can have the primary justice (Shalom).

Thanks to Tom for the always moving song, "Beauty for Ashes."
