Jesus and Establishing Justice

This past Sunday, as I preached on the Beatitudes, I spoke of Jesus as the One who "hungers and thirst for righteousness (justice)," but failed to correctly site the verse from Isaiah I was using. Here, is my correction:

42:1 Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.

42:2 He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;

42:3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.

42:4 He will not grow faint or be crushed until he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his teaching.
