116 TheTraining and Humiliation of the Messiah

The reference here is to the Messiah, the Servant. Here is a beautiful description of His character, and of some of the key events of His life. This verse is designed to state how he was fitted for the peculiar work to which He was called. This describes the learning or disciplining of Him as the Servant. During His boyhood in Nazareth, every morning, Jesus was awakened by His Heavenly Father in the early hours of the morning to receive instruction through prayer. In this way Jesus learned who He was, what His mission was, and how to act and react accordingly.
In verse 5, we are told that Jesus learned all that was required of Him, that He must suffer and die. By the time Jesus' ministry became public, He was not rebellious and did not draw back. When the time came, He willingly submitted Himself to His tormentors. The abuses described here are all fully described in the Gospels during both His religious and civil trials.

The whole enablement of the Messiah is traced back to God the Father, to Jehovah. It was He who had called Him, He who had given Him the tongue of the learned, and He who had carefully and attentively qualified Him for His special earthly redemptive work. He was granted with intelligence, and with special eloquence. In regard to the Servant's power of instruction, the discourses which He delivered, as recorded in the New Testament, and especially His sermon on the mount, Olivet Discourse and the parables are examples. None ever spoke like Him and there was no one who was ever so well qualified to instruct mankind like Him (Matthew 13:54).
