Isaiah challenges the futility of idols, that do nothing, say nothing, just confusion.
The speaking God, Isa. 42:8-16
He identifies Himself, the eternal one. Yet a knowable God, for He reveals Himself.
The Servant King, Isa. 42:1-6
The God who acts. “Behold my servant…” He sent Jesus to us. He is gentle, not breaking the bruised reeds. Jesus is interested in bruised reeds, and abused reeds, and smoking wicks. He cares for you.
