He will not shout or cry out, Or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, And a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; He will not falter or be discouraged Till he has established justice on the earth In his law the islands will put their hope.

The Search for the Knowledge of Jesus (John 12:24-26) (The model) The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, (Principle of Movements) Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains a single grain. But if it dies it produces much fruit (many seeds). (The Key) The person who loves their life will lose it, while the person who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (The Direction) Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am there my servant also will be. (The Knowledge of God) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
