Commentary on Isaiah 42:21

Theological / Devotional

Magnify the law. Christ magnified the “law,” Heb. torah (see on Ps. 19:7; Prov. 3:1), both by precept and by example, proving it to be wise and just. Obedience to the revealed will of God always promotes righteousness, happiness, and peace among men. In His Sermon on the Mount, Christ magnified the law by applying its principles to the motives of the heart as well as to the outward acts (see on Matt. 5:17, 20, 21). Christ’s life of perfect compliance with every requirement of the law confirmed all that He proclaimed concerning it (John 15:10; 17:4; Rom. 8:3, 4).
