Isaiah 42:1-4.
1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. 2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

God sent His Son to bring justice in mercy, grace in truth and love - to the point of allowing us to nail Him to the cross to take away the just punishment for the sin a each one of us has in us. He then took our sin on as His own to put it to death there, bringing hope of a new life to follow (the resurrection of Easter). He endured all the hate of religious people set against Himself, all to bring forgiveness and life, to reconcile or make us right in standing with God as we were created to be in Eden. Grace, mercy, and peace to us in Jesus Christ.
