Isaiah 42:6-8

The blind eyes; the eyes of their minds blinded with long ignorance, and deep prejudice, and inveterate error, and by the power and policy of the god of this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4, which nothing but the almighty power of God could cure. The prisoners; sinners, unto are taken captive by the devil at his will, as we read, 2 Timothy 2:26, and as daily experience showeth, and who are enslaved and chained by their own lusts, and made free-men only by Christ, John 8:32,John 8:36. Compare this... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 42:1-11

THE SERVANT OF THE LORDIsaiah 42:1-11. Behold My servant, &c.It is difficult for us who have history, with all its definiteness, to realise the inestimable value of prophecy, notwithstanding its vagueness, to God’s ancient people. But try to put yourself in their place. It was very difficult for them to be God’s people, because it is difficult always to be loyal to an unpopular and apparently hopeless cause.

Victor Emmanuel, Emancipator by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "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 42:7 . On a former occasion ("Sinners Bound with the Cords of Sin" ) we contemplated the unconverted man as being bound by the cords of his sins. It was a very solemn and sorrowful topic. I trust it humbled us all, and made those of us whom the Son has made free, feel renewed gratitude for the glorious... read more

Isaiah 42:1-17Behold My ServantWho is the “servant of Jehovah”?The following are, in brief, the leading opinions which have been held: (1) Hitzig’s, that the Jewish people in exile is referred to, as distinguished from the heathen;(2) that of Paulus and Maurer, that the servant is the pious portion of the people;(3) that of Gesenins, that the prophetic order is intended;(4) that of Hofmann, combining (2) and (3), that it means Israel, the prophetic people, suffering on behalf of the heathen... read more
