Bible Questions Answered:
“What
is the meaning, a bruised reed he will not break?...
Shirley/
Chicago, Illinois U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Isaiah
42:1-3 KJV
1
Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; Mine Elect, in whom My soul
delighteth; I have put My Spirit upon Him: He shall bring forth
judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He
shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the
street.
3 A
bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not
quench:
He
shall bring forth judgment unto truth. (He will bring justice to all
who have been wronged. NLT)
This is a description of The Messiah, (Jesus), and speaks of His
humility and meekness.
“A
bruised reed shall He not break...”
The most tender plant may have it's stem bent by the wind, but The
Servant Of The Lord (The Messiah), will not break it, but save it.
“and
the smoking flax shall He not quench:”
The oil lamps of Christ's day,
consisted of a clay pot with a flax wick.
The flax plant is known for it's fiber, thus used for textiles, and
also used for food. Linseed oil, also is derived from the flax plant.
The fibrous stem of the flax plant was used for a wick for oil lamps.
When a clay lamp had run out of oil, it's wick (flax), smoked. One
could throw away the flax wick, and refill the clay pot, but it was
not the wicks fault, the flame had gone out, it needed oil. The Servant Of
The Lord (The Messiah), would not quench the smoking flax, but pour
in new oil and breath on the wick (the smoking flax), and it would be ablaze
again.
II
Samuel 22:36 KJV
Thou
hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness
hath made me great.
Psalm
18:35 KJV
Thou
hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand
hath held me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

The
saving, restoring, life giving ministry of The Lord Jesus:
Isaiah
42:5-8 KJV
5
Thus saith God The Lord, He that created the heavens, and stretched
them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out
of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to
them that walk therein:
6
I The Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles;
7
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8
I am The Lord: that is My name: and My glory will I not give to
another, neither My praise to graven images.
Isaiah
58:6,7 KJV
6
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
free, and that ye break every yoke?
7
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the
poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that
thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Isaiah
61:1-3 KJV
1
The Spirit of The Lord God is upon Me; because The Lord hath anointed
Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the
opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2
To proclaim the acceptable year of The Lord, and the day of vengeance
of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of
righteousness, the planting of The Lord, that He might be glorified.
Luke
4:17-21 KJV
17
And there was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And
when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,
18
The Spirit Of The Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to
preach The Gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19
To preach the acceptable year of The Lord.
20
And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat
down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were
fastened on Him.
21
And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled
in your ears.
Breathe
On Me, Breath Of God
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.

Matthew 11:28-30
KJV
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn
of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
John 1:12,13 NLT
12 But to all who believed Him and
accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God.
13 They are reborn—not with a
physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that
comes from God.
