為主傳揚福音 (賽四十二) 中英bilingual

看哪，我的僕人─我所扶持所揀選、心裏所喜悅的！我已將我的靈賜給他；他必將公理傳給外邦。他不喧嚷，不揚聲，也不使街上聽見他的聲音。壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷；將殘的燈火，他不吹滅。他憑真實將公理傳開。(賽 42：1-3) 

本章以賽亞先知預言救主耶穌的到來和祂的作為，這個預言已實現，並記錄在馬太福音第十二章18-21節。主耶穌以僕人的身份來到世間，將福音傳給外邦(也就是除了選民以色列人以外的其他人)，接受的人多數是心靈空虛和身體軟弱的，但真神耶穌卻不棄絕他們，反而打開他們屬靈的眼睛和耳朵，引導他們走生命之道，這生命之道就是聖經真理，要傳給世上所有的人，讓人人都有悔改得救的機會。 

我是耶和華，這是我的名；我必不將我的榮耀歸給假神，也不將我的稱讚歸給雕刻的偶像。(賽 42：8) 

我們所信靠的神是獨一真神，其他信仰的人可能會覺得我們的教派很自大，但這是耶穌說的(參可 12：29)。有關耶和華這個名稱，有人可能會覺得疑惑，依據使徒行傳四章12節，真神只賜下一個名我們可以靠著得救，就是耶穌，為何以賽亞書42：8寫耶和華是祂的名呢？原因是在舊約時期，神尚未透過耶穌基督成就救恩，所以當摩西問神祂的名字時，神回答說祂是自有永有的，文字書寫為YHWH，是由無法讀出來的子音組成，後來猶太學者們加母音進去，最後演變為耶和華(Jehovah)，所以這是一個稱號，非名字。 

誰比我的僕人眼瞎呢？誰比我差遣的使者耳聾呢？誰瞎眼像那與我和好的？誰瞎眼像耶和華的僕人呢？你看見許多事卻不領會，耳朵開通卻不聽見。(賽 42：19-20) 

以色列民是神所揀選的子民，但由於他們不肯遵行神的道，也不聽從神的訓誨，所以變成在屬靈上眼瞎和耳聾的人。我們多數人原本都非神的選民，是因為神的憐憫和揀選才得以透過主耶穌的救恩成為屬靈的活人，相信我們都不想再度成為眼瞎和耳聾的人，為要維持屬靈的敏感度，所以需要每日讀經，透過神的話語來修正腳步，使我們走在正道上，不偏離左右，成為神所喜悅的人。  

耶穌愛世人，為世人捨命，開了得救的恩門，時間有限，你還在等什麼呢？ 

已嘗過主恩滋味的基督徒，快起來跟隨主耶穌的腳步，傳揚正確的福音吧！ 

主的靈在我身上，因為他用膏膏我，叫我傳福音給貧窮的人；差遣我報告被擄的得釋放，瞎眼的得看見，叫那受壓制的得自由。(路 4：18)

Preach the Gospel for the Lord(Isaiah 42)

June 3, 2026

“Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold;

My chosen one in whom My soul delights.

I have put My Spirit upon Him;

He will bring forth justice to the nations.

 He will not cry out nor raise His voice,

Nor make His voice heard in the street.

 A bent reed He will not break off

And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish;

He will faithfully bring forth justice.” (Isaiah 42:1–3, NASB 2020)

In this chapter, the prophet Isaiah prophesies the coming of the Savior Jesus and His work. This prophecy has already been fulfilled and is recorded in Matthew 12:18–21. The Lord Jesus came into the world as a servant and brought the gospel to the Gentiles—that is, to people other than the chosen people of Israel. Most of those who accepted Him were empty in spirit and weak in body, yet Jesus, the true God, did not reject them. Instead, He opened their spiritual eyes and ears, leading them to walk in the way of life. This way of life is the truth of the Bible, which must be preached to all people in the world, so that everyone may have the opportunity to repent and be saved.

“I am the Lord, that is My name;

I will not give My glory to another.”

(Isaiah 42:8, NASB 2020)

The God we trust in is the one true God. People of other faiths may think that our belief is arrogant, but this is what Jesus said (see Mark 12:29). Regarding the name “Jehovah,” some may feel confused. According to Acts 4:12, the true God has given only one name by which we can be saved, and that name is Jesus. Then why does Isaiah 42:8 say that the Lord is His name? The reason is that in the Old Testament period, God had not yet accomplished salvation through Jesus Christ. Therefore, when Moses asked God for His name, God answered that He is the One who is. In written form, this was “YHWH”, made up of consonants that could not be pronounced. Later, Jewish scholars added vowels to it, and it eventually developed into “Jehovah.” Therefore, this is a title, not a personal name.

“Who is blind but My servant,

Or so deaf as My messenger whom I send?

Who is so blind as one who is at peace with Me,

Or so blind as the servant of the Lord?

You have seen many things, but you do not retain them;

Your ears are open, but no one hears.” (Isaiah 42:19–20, NASB 2020)

The Israelites were the people chosen by God. However, because they refused to walk in God’s way and would not listen to His instruction, they became spiritually blind and deaf. Most of us were originally not God’s chosen people. It is because of God’s mercy and election that we have become spiritually alive through the salvation of the Lord Jesus. I believe none of us wants to become blind and deaf again. In order to maintain spiritual sensitivity, we need to read the Bible daily, allowing God’s word to correct our steps, so that we may walk on the right path, not turning to the right or to the left, and become people who are pleasing to God.

Jesus loves the world, gave His life for the world, and opened the door of grace for salvation. Time is limited—what are you still waiting for?

Christians who have already tasted the goodness of the Lord, rise up quickly and follow in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus. Preach the correct gospel!

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

Because He anointed Me to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent Me to proclaim release to captives,

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set free those who are oppressed, “(Luke 4:18, NASB 2020)
