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. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

Isaiah 42:1-4

Jesus said His yoke was easy, and His burden was light. The essence and key to correct ministry is found in these words.  As long as our ministry is heaven and our labor hard to our souls, we are doing more than we ought, or doing it wrong.  While there is grace and mercy to learn, we must learn, and find that place of ministering by His Spirit alone, not out our selves or our own strength, but by Him alone. Of Jesus, it was prophesied that he would not fail nor be discouraged until he had finished his work, setting judgment in the Earth. He would not falter, be discouraged, be crushed, faith, weak, or sad until He established justice in the Earth, being just and the justifier of the wicked. Yet, without the knowledge of this realm of the Spirit, the depth and the sole devotion to it, many experience burn out, many feel despair and weakness in their own members.  Many are crushed before their appointed time. Yet, Jesus, even before the very prince of the world, in the garden before the crucifixion, though he sweated blood, remained, endured, and stood the ultimate test.

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: 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; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Isaiah 42:5-7

For Jesus fulfilled all of these promises, enduring because He dwelt in a Kingdom Beyond this Earth, and Eternal Kingdom which He invites all of the re-born into.

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Isaiah 42:8-9

As the Lord did not give His glory to another, but to us, after He has tried us, so Jesus walked in the fullness of grace, fullness of might, and did not weaken until He had accomplished His purpose.

Jesus could have, with His discernment, destroyed the woman caught in adultery.  But, she knew her sin.  She knew her failure.  She did not need someone to tell her she was wrong.

But, the Heart of the Father was not to kill, but to save.  It was to lift up those who were low.  She still had to repent, she still had to turn, but it was not a harsh word that day.

With all the power of the Gospel, all the authority and judgment and right condemnation upon the wicked, He is still the Lord that will not crush the weak or those destitute without hope.

Yet, it is precisely this statement that is followed by the next.  He will not grow weak or faint until he has established justice.

Because He did not despise those weak and in need, the Father did not despise Him, and what He sowed, in His own measure, He also reaped.

Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

Isaiah 42:10-12

For, rejoicing in the Lord, all the inhabitants may see Him.  Even as they praised Him on the way into Jerusalem a week before He was killed, the Lord was brought forth with singing.  Even today, as it is said in the Psalms, Let the high praises of God be in their mouths!
