The Lord Jesus Christ is the Saviour who was sent to Egypt; what a great Saviour He is! Isaiah’s audience must have been filled with amazement
Here Isaiah teaches us about the Lord’s elect, a scattered and peeled people. He shows us how the Lord Jesus Christ is an ensign and a trumpet to call God’s remnant people from amongst the nations. He teaches us how to interpret enduring trials and he confirms the promises that we shall be presented to God as a holy, perfect people in Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the subject of Isaiah’s prophecy. It is He whose kingdom is established in mercy, who sits on a throne of truth and who dispenses righteousness to His people. May the burden of Moab continue to speak to lead the Lord’s little ones under the protection of His wings.
Isaiah records a series of 'burdens'. These burdens reveal the character of God; His holiness, sovereignty and distinguishing love. They also teach us how we should understand the unfolding of world events. They also point us to the Lord Jesus Christ. Isaiah's message is still relevant today for the people of God!
The Lord’s elect people are a remnant people who have escaped from judgment and death through the sacrifice and deliverance of their Saviour. The remnant stay upon the Lord in truth, they return to the Lord, and they prove the Lord faithful. These lessons Isaiah taught to the encouragement and comfort of the Lord’s elect then, and they shall remain and encouragement for all time for the Lord’s church from every nation. The elect are be saved because of the appointing and anointing of our Saviour to His task.
The Lord’s people of Isaiah’s day and during the following years waited patiently for the coming of the promised child, the Son of God. Today we are blessed to have seen in all its glory the wonderful work of redemption and grace by the Lord Jesus Christ. Both they, and we, look to Christ by faith, trusting in the power and efficacy of His blood.
