AE 409b - "My servant", "My chosen"

AE 409b [2]

Behold My servant, on whom I lean, My chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased; I have given My spirit upon Him. [He shall bring forth judgment to the nations]. Who is blind but my servant? or deaf as My angel that I send? Who is blind as He that is perfect, and blind as My servant? Isaiah 42: 1, 19

This is said of the Lord, who is treated of in the whole of this chapter,
and the Lord in respect to His Divine Human is here called "a servant,"
because He served His Father by doing His will,
as He frequently declares;
and this means that He reduced to order all thing in the spiritual world,
and at the same time taught men the way to heaven.
Therefore by "My servant on whom I lean," and by "My chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased,"
the Divine Human is meant;
and this is called "a servant" from the Divine truth by which it produced effects,
and "chosen" from the Divine good....
He is called "blind" and "deaf" because the Lord is as if He did not see and perceive the sins of men,
for He leads men gently, bending and not breaking,
thus leading away from evils and leading to good;
therefore He does not chastise and punish,
like one who sees and perceives.
