Nothing Broken

A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory;
And in His name Gentiles will trust."  Matthew 12:20-21

So gentle is our Savior that the things which are about to break and the fires that are about to go out are not further broken by Him. But there is a word of change there too. A time is spoken of when justice shall be sent forth by our Lord to victory. A fulfillment of this prophecy comes in the Revelation when our Lord returns on the white horse and a sword comes from His mouth to defeat the enemies gathered at Armageddon. And then comes a word and His promise specifically for us: 

"And in His name Gentiles will trust."

Indeed we are glad to be a part of that prophecy; a rejoicing fulfillment of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. In His Name, we trust and live, knowing well that only in Him are we saved from the judgment that is to come. In His name, we love one another and our Lord. 

In His great name!
