WHAT SATISFACTION? WHAT KNOWLEDGE?
LORD’S DAY, AUGUST 28
Isaiah 53:11-12
Psalm 29:1-11
"Give unto the LORD
the glory due unto his name…"
WHAT SATISFACTION? WHAT KNOWLEDGE?
An adaptation of Matthew Henry’s exposition of Isaiah 53:11-12 follows:
He shall Himself have abundant satisfaction in it, v.11. He shall, with prospect of His sufferings, have a prospect of the fruit. He shall see it accomplished in the conversion and salvation of sinners…. Faith is knowledge of Christ, without knowledge there can be no faith. Knowledge of Christ and that faith in Him, by which we are justified, have reference to Him, both as Servant to God and Surety for us. He that is Himself righteous, for He could not have made atonement for our sin if He had sin of His own to answer for, is made of God to us Righteousness, the Lord our Righteousness (Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jer 33:16). We must know Him, and believe in Him, as one that bore our iniquities — saved us from sinking under the load by taking it upon Himself.
He shall have the glory of obtaining victory and universal dominion, v.12. Sin and Satan, death and hell, the world and the flesh, are the strong foes He has vanquished. Much of the glory with which Christ is recompensed, consists in the vast multitudes of willing, faithful subjects that shall be wrought on by the grace of God, to give themselves to Him, to be ruled, taught, and saved by Him; hereby He shall reckon Himself abundantly recompensed for all He did and all He suffered. What God designed for the Redeemer He shall certainly possess. I will divide it to Him: the spoil the Father divided to the Son, He divides among the followers; when He led captivity captive, He received gifts for men, that He might give gifts to men. Through Him we are more than conquerors; He has divided the spoils, the fruits of His conquest, to all that are His: let us then cast in our lot among them.
THOUGHT: "When free grace awoke me by light from on high, Then legal fears shook me, I trembled to die; No refuge, no safety, in self could I see, Jehovah Tsidkenu is all things to me."
PRAYER: How I praise Thee, O Lord, the Conqueror of death!
