"And in his name shall the Gentiles hope." — Matthew 12:21 (ASV)
Because He is so kind, the despised Gentile dogs shall come and crouch at His feet and love Him as their Master. He shall be the hope of those who were left as hopeless. Our Lord’s desire for quiet and His avoiding antagonism thus proved Him to be the Messiah of the prophets.
Should we not more and more trust in the Anointed of the Lord? Yes, Gentiles as we are, we do trust in His name. In us is this prophecy fulfilled, yet how unlikely it seemed that Gentiles would do so when Israel refused Him.
