James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

THE MESSIAH REVEALED The thirty-two chapters deal particularly with the Person and work of the Messiah. Isaiah has sometimes been called the evangelical prophet because of the large space he gives to that subject a circumstance the more notable because of the silence concerning it since Moses. The explanation of this silence is hinted at in the lesson on the introduction to the prophets. In chapter 49, the Messiah speaks of Himself and the failure of His mission in His rejection by His... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 55:12-13

Reader! do not fail to observe what a beautiful conclusion is made to this most gracious chapter! Surely, it is but just and right, that what begins in grace should end in thanksgiving! Praise is comely for the righteous. And how can any, and every redeemed soul do otherwise than shout aloud for joy, when Jesus is become his salvation? Such a blessed change is made from darkness to light, and from the power of sin and Satan unto God, that it may well be compared to the removal of briers and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 55:6-13

6-13 Here is a gracious offer of pardon, and peace, and of all happiness. It shall not be in vain to seek God, now his word is calling to us, and his Spirit is striving with us. But there is a day coming when he will not be found. There may come such a time in this life; it is certain that at death and judgment the door will be shut. There must be not only a change of the way, but a change of the mind. We must alter our judgments about persons and things. It is not enough to break off from evil... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 55:6-13

Israel Called to Repentance v. 6. Seek ye the Lord, so the Lord now calls out to Israel through the proclamation of His prophet, while He may be found, while the time of grace is still present with them; call ye upon Him while He is near, while His salvation is so close at hand in the Word of His grace, while the opportunity for repentance is still held out. v. 7. Let the wicked forsake his way, no longer, in contempt of God, pursuing the way of his own lusts and desires, and the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 55:1-13

VII.—THE SEVENTH DISCOURSEThe New Way of appropriating SalvationIsaiah 55:1-5When we contemplate the contents of our chapters, one could almost outdo the modern criticism and exclaim: This was never written in the Exile ! It must have been written after Christ, by a disciple of Paul who read the epistles to the Romans and Galatians! But on closer inspection one observes that our Prophet describes, not what he lived to see and learned to know by experience, but future things that were still... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

the Free Offer of Pardoning Grace Isaiah 55:1-13 The Prince of Life , Isaiah 55:4 , r.v. Four times in the New Testament this title is applied to our Lord, and always in connection with His Resurrection. See Acts 3:14-15 ; Acts 5:31 ; Hebrews 2:9-10 ; Hebrews 12:2 , where the words prince, author, and captain, are various translations of the same Greek word. The meaning of the original word is file leader. He leads out of death into life; out of defeat into victory; out of suffering into... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 55:1-13

Immediately following the song we have the prophet's great appeal. It is made in the consciousness of the victory won by the Servant of the Lord and the consequent possibility of restoration offered to the people. Nevertheless it distinctly sets forth the solemn conditions on which advantage may be taken of the great provision. It first recognizes the need of the people in the verses which describe their condition as thirsty, as being without money, as spending "money for that which is not... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 55:1-13

The Great Invitation Isaiah 55:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Isaiah 55:1-13 is a marvelous appendix to the fifty-second and fifty-third chapters. In discussing the fifty-third chapter we saw the marvelous story of redemption. The fifty-fourth chapter follows with God's appeal to Israel to sing because of the promise of her marvelous enlargement. God tells her she will break forth on the right hand, and on the left hand, that her seed will inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate city to be... read more
