Any Theologians or people smarter than me out there?
Advertisements [?]
I got this "Christmas Card" email from a relative who is a Minister. Anyone want to give me their take on what he is trying to say with this Biblical Quote? It is not as easy as the Chaplain, (from another thread) telling the US troops that they were shepherds protecting the US from the dark forces of Iraq, (by blowing off their heads). Here is the card with the names removed.


In this season of the Messiah



“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,

my chosen one in whom I delight;

I will put my Spirit on him

and he will bring justice to the nations.

2 He will not shout or cry out,

or raise his voice in the streets.

3 A bruised reed he will not break,

and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.

In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;

4 he will not falter or be discouraged

till he establishes justice on earth.

In his law the islands will put their hope.”

Isaiah 42:1 – 4



Wishing you a Blessed Christmas,
