Guaranteed Success!

Isaiah 42:1-4  
Last time we asked if the Old Testament saints would have believed what they read and had faith that Messiah would not fail. This time, Jonathan Edwards helps us to consider the same passage from God's perspective. Would Christ succeed in His mission? Was there a chance that He wouldn't?
Shall He? 

"If Christ had not kept the Father’s commandments, he could not have continued in His love. He would have been cast out of favor. Nevertheless, it was impossible that Christ should not continue in His Father’s love for He was entitled to such help and support from him as should be effectual to uphold him in obedience to His Father. Therefore through the perfect obedience of Christ, God remedied the weakness of the first covenant and guaranteed the success of the second covenant. What the law failed of, being weak through the flesh, Christ performed.”  Jonathan Edwards
