| The Bruised Reed |

A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench, Till He sends forth justice to victory; Matthew 12:20 (NKJV)
 "The real significance of the "bruised reed" which he will not break and of the "the smoldering wick" which he will not quench is therefore that he will treat with profound and genuine sympathy, with tender concern, whatever is near to exhaustion. He will impart strength to the weak, to all who while pining away ask him for help. He will heal the sick, seek and save tax-collectors and sinners, comfort mourners, cheer the fearful, reassure doubters, feed the famished, and grant pardon to those who repent of their sins. He is the true Immanuel."-William Hendriksen |
