The Servant King

by Josh Head

Matthew 12:15-21 (NASB1995)

(all the rest are ESV)

Matthew 3:16-17

Matthew 12:14

Matthew 12:15-16

“There is an admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies in Jesus Christ. There is in Him a conjunction of such diverse excellencies that would have seemed to us utterly incompatible in the same subject.

There do meet in Jesus Christ infinite highness and infinite humility. He is higher than all the kings of the earth for He is the King of kings and Lord of lords so great is he that all the kings and princes of the earth are as worms in the dust before him. So great is he that all the nations are a drop in the bucket. He is infinitely above any need of us, so we cannot be of any profit to him.

And yet, he is one of infinite humility. None are so low or inferior, but Christ is willing not only to take notice of them, but to enter into friendship with them, yes indeed to unite his soul with them in spiritual marriage, to take our nature upon himself to become one OF us so he can become one WITH us. He is great enough to become low for us, to expose himself to shame and spitting and death. Such a conjunction of infinite highness and infinite humility in the same person seems impossible, and therefore, is altogether beautiful.” – Jonathan Edwards

Matthew 12:17

Isaiah 1:15

Matthew 12:18

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven:

by the power of the Holy Spirit

he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,

and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come.

Matthew 12:19

Matthew 12:20

Matthew 12:21

John 13:12-16

“The cross is unrepeatable but cross bearing is not.” – Eugene Peterson

Ephesians 5:25

John 15:15

“He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.”

“He will not quarrel”

“He will not cry out”

“Nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.”

“A bruised reed he will not break.”

“A smoldering wick he will not quench.”
