After underscoring the mission of His servant, the
Lord describes how He will set things right. He will
be gentle (v.2a). His voice will not be heard in
public. This is to say that He will not give Himself to
argument. When you read the gospel and see how many
times the Pharisees came to challenge Jesus, you will see
that He didn’t get into arguments with them; He told them
the truth with all respect and humility. Even when they
were about to kill Him, He didn’t oppose them. Verse 2b–
4 reveals how compassionate God’s servant will be. He
will speak for the weak. He will bring justice to all who
have been wronged, and He will be committed to seeing
that truth and righteousness prevail. This was fulfilled
through the ministry of Jesus Christ (Matt 9:36), and even
today, Jesus still shows compassion to those who are
weak, those who are abandoned.

God’s servant was gentle and compassionate. God’s
children are supposed to stand for those who are weak.
Believers are called upon to be promoters of the truth and
righteousness. Commit yourself to fighting for those who
are weak and to promoting truth and righteousness in
your community.
