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 55:4

How sweet and blessed is this declaration of Jehovah, concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. Here he is revealed under those distinguishing characters. And is he not the faithful witness in heaven? Called of God the Father, hath he not witnessed the whole truth of God, by his spotless life and holy death? Yea, doth he not now, by his blessed Spirit, confirm the whole, in the hearts, and lives, and consciences of his people? Is he not the leader, the captain, the commander, of his little army, in... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 55:1-5

1-5 All are welcome to the blessings of salvation, to whom those blessings are welcome. In Christ there is enough for all, and enough for each. Those satisfied with the world, that see no need of Christ, do not thirst. They are in no uneasiness about their souls: but where God gives grace, he gives a thirst after it; and where he has given a thirst after it, he will give it. Come to Christ, for he is the Fountain opened, he is the Rock smitten. Come to holy ordinances, to the streams that make... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 55:1-5

The Heathen Invited to te Banquet of Grace v. 1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, the earnest attention of all who feel their need being solicited, come ye to the waters! And he that hath no money, nothing of real value to offer in exchange, come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. The Hebrew text brings out even more strongly than can be done in an English translation the idea of a gracious giving on the part of the Lord. The rich nourishment, the... read more

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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 55:2-7

Isaiah THE CALL TO THE THIRSTY Isa_55:1 - Isa_55:13 . The call to partake of the blessings of the Messianic salvation worthily follows the great prophecy of the suffering Servant. No doubt the immediate application of this chapter is to the exiled nation, who in it are summoned from their vain attempts to find satisfaction in the material prosperity realised in exile, and to make the only true blessedness their own by obedience to God’s voice. But if ever the prophet spoke to the world he... read more

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
