Matthew 12:18-21 (AMP)
20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, till He brings justice and a just cause to victory.
Reflections:
I love today�s verse because it describes what we should be found doing as Christians. Jesus was the great physician who directed his ministry to the common folk, the downtrodden and to society�s castaways.
The landscape of humanity is littered with the walking wounded; castaways who are crying out just to be wanted, loved, and touched by someone so that they too might be healed.
It�s the �easy way out� to try and draw �those that are well;� those that can benefit us as we build what we perceive to be Christ�s kingdom on earth. However, Jesus said that, �those that are well don�t need a physician.� It�s to the lost, frightened and lonely sheep that we are sent.
So if we�re all comfy cozy and sailing along smoothly with the beneficial in-crowd, we might want to take a second look at whom we�re really called to be. It�s not hard to find those bruised reeds and smoldering wicks amongst us -- they�re the ones we try to avoid.
We�re called to be followers of Christ, the one who would not break a bruised reed, nor quench a smoldering (dimly burning) wick.
Does that truly describe you and me?
