A Scripture A Day

[JIP]

Matthew 12:20 "A bruised reed He will not break ..."

Matthew 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
"A bruised reed shall he not break"- a reference to a musical instrument made of a reed and which is easily broken and crushed under the feet. The Shepherd many times would prefer to repair the pipe instead of making another one, so he would not crush it under His feet until all hope of repairing was past.
"smoking flax shall he not quench" - a reference to a wick floating in an open lamp. The oil having been used up, the wick smokes and is of no further value unless the oil is replenished. So here Christ will not use His power to destroy His enemies until it becomes necessary. He will not fail or be discouraged until He fulfills His mission.
