Isaiah 52
Concise Complete
The welcome news of Christ's kingdom. (1-12) The
humiliation of the Messiah. (13-15)
Verses 1-12 The
gospel proclaims liberty to those bound with fears. Let those weary and heavy
laden under the burden of sin, find relief in Christ, shake themselves from the
dust of their doubts and fears, and loose themselves from those bands. The price
paid by the Redeemer for our salvation, was not silver or gold, or corruptible
things, but his own precious blood. Considering the freeness of this salvation,
and how hurtful to temporal comfort sins are, we shall more value the redemption
which is in Christ. Do we seek victory over every sin, recollecting that the
glory of God requires holiness in every follower of Christ? The good news is,
that the Lord Jesus reigns. Christ himself brought these tidings first. His
ministers proclaim these good tidings: keeping themselves clean from the
pollutions of the world, they are beautiful to those to whom they are sent.
Zion's watchmen could scarcely discern any thing of God's favour through the
dark cloud of their afflictions; but now the cloud is scattered, they shall
plainly see the performance. Zion's waste places shall then rejoice; all the
world will have the benefit. This is applied to our salvation by Christ. Babylon
is no place for Israelites. And it is a call to all in the bondage of sin and
Satan, to use the liberty Christ has proclaimed. They were to go with diligent
haste, not to lose time nor linger; but they were not to go with distrustful
haste. Those in the way of duty, are under God's special protection; and he that
believes this, will not hasten for fear.
Verses 13-15
Here begins that wonderful, minute, and faithful description of the office,
character, and glory of the Messiah, which has struck conviction to many of the
most hardened unbelievers. Christ is Wisdom itself; in the work of our
redemption there appeared the wisdom of God in a mystery. Those that saw him,
said, Surely never man looked so miserable: never was sorrow like unto his
sorrow. But God highly exalted him. That shall be discovered by the gospel of
Christ, which could never be told in any other way. And Christ having once shed
his blood for sinners, its power still continues. May all opposers see the
wisdom of ceasing from their opposition, and be made partakers of the blood of
sprinkling, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost; obeying him, and praising his
salvation.
