All human hearts produce idols, that is, false-god substitutes for the one, true God. Idolatry preys on us by blinding us to the unrestrained goodness of God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. We may think that God is absent. In our text from Isaiah 42:14-21, God makes us aware that He is active in our lives with his goodness (42:13-15). God shows his great goodness by leading the blind because the blind can’t lead themselves (vv. 16-17). Finally, God’s great goodness has taken our death and blindness to Himself, in His Servant Christ, our Lord and Savior Jesus (vv. 18-21). May the hearer acknowledge and rest in the unrestrained goodness of God!
