Isaiah 12
Concise Complete
This is a hymn of praise suited to the times of the
Messiah.
The song of praise in this chapter is suitable for the
return of the outcasts of Israel from their long captivity, but it is especially
suitable to the case of a sinner, when he first finds peace and joy in
believing; to that of a believer, when his peace is renewed after corrections
for backslidings; and to that of the whole company of the redeemed, when they
meet before the throne of God in heaven. The promise is sure, and the blessings
contained in it are very rich; and the benefits enjoyed through Jesus Christ,
call for the most enlarged thanksgivings. By Jesus Christ, the Root of Jesse,
the Divine anger against mankind was turned away, for he is our Peace. Those to
whom God is reconciled, he comforts. They are taught to triumph in God and their
interest in him. I will trust him to prepare me for his salvation, and preserve
me to it. I will trust him with all my concerns, not doubting but he will make
all to work for good. Faith in God is a sovereign remedy against tormenting
fears. Many Christians have God for their strength, who have him not for their
song; they walk in darkness: but those who have God for their strength ought to
make him their song; that is, give him the glory of it, and take to themselves
the comfort of it. This salvation is from the love of God the Father, it comes
to us through God the Son, it is applied by the new-creating power of God the
Spirit. When this is seen by faith, the trembling sinner learns to hope in God,
and is delivered from fear. The purifying and sanctifying influences of the Holy
Ghost often are denoted under the emblem of springing water. This work flows
through the mediation of Christ, and is conveyed to our souls by means of God's
ordinances. Blessed be God, we have wells of salvation opened on every side, and
may draw from them the waters of life and consolation. In the second part of
this gospel song, ver.4-6, believers
encourage one another to praise God, and seek to draw others to join them in it.
No difference of opinions about the times and seasons, and other such matters,
ought to divide the hearts of Christians. Let it be our care that we may be
placed amongst those to whom he will say, Come, ye blessed of my Father, receive
the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
