The Lord Jehovah has revealed to His people His great works of creation, providence and salvation that we might be comforted as we trust in Him. Jehovah called the Son Jesus Christ in eternal council to stand Surety for His people and to come and suffer as Substitute for their sins. All we who are chosen in Christ have much to thank God for.

The Lord Jehovah is the source of all true comfort in this world. He teaches us of that comfort in the scriptures of comfort and calls for preachers of comfort to bring His message to His people. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest comfort for our souls and by it believers experience and enjoy spiritual comfort in their daily lives.

Hezekiah’s House of Precious Things were not really precious at all but it took a chastening rebuke from the Lord by the prophet Isaiah to expose the king’s foolishness and return him to trust in God. For believers the gospel and God’s grace and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself have all become precious and we have come to learn that we who are His are the Lord’s own House of Precious Things.

Hezekiah’s act of spreading before the Lord the source and cause of his trouble is an example for all the Lord’s people challenged by the trials of this world and the weakness of our flesh. Whether it is external oppression by others or inward wrestling in our own flesh through sin or sickness the Lord will hear the prayers of His people as we spread our need before Him.

Hezekiah’s faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was more than a match for Rabshakeh’s rantings yet the Lord’s enemy attacked the gospel and the comfort of the Lord’s people in ways that can take their toll. We are blessed to have Hezekiah’s example to teach us how to withstand the onslaughts of evil.

Isaiah tells us of God who saves and a Way of holiness. This points to the Lord Jesus Christ who is a Saviour who enables, a Saviour who secures, a Saviour who gladdens and a Saviour who finishes. He is a Saviour to trust in time and for eternity.

God’s judgment against sin is graphically portrayed in this chapter where it is described as ‘The Sword Of The Lord’. God will judge sin and must obtain satisfaction for every transgression of His holy law. By grace God's elect discover the Lord Jesus Christ to be their Substitute sin-bearer and find peace with God through Him.

Our Lord Jesus Christ promises to protect His people and save His church from all our foes. He is our hiding place from the wind, our covert in the storm. He is all our righteousness and promises to supply peace, quietness and assurance for ever.

Our Lord Jesus Christ fought for His people's salvation on the cross. He won the victory and He has given it to us. Our Saviour told Isaiah, descending He will fight, defending He will deliver, passing over He will preserve. All this He has done and continues to do. Our Husband is a man of war as well as our Prince of Peace.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the source of all salvation. Some rest in their faith, others in their works, some in their church, some in their minister’s praise. Only by resting in the completed work of Christ on the cross can a weary soul find rest. Only in our Saviour is there grounds for quietness of spirit and confidence of heart.

Empty religion that tries to approach God with sacrifices and worship God with the lips but not the heart is an offence to Him. Only true spiritual worship founded upon the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and offered spiritually by faith is acceptable to God. Isaiah comforts the Lord's people by pointing them to the Redeemer, reassuring them about God's purpose to save and the promise that Christ's church shall be taught the doctrine of grace.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is The Sure Foundation upon whom His people are safe and secure for all eternity. He is our Tried Stone, always dependable and trustworthy. He is our Precious Corner Stone upon whom His church stands and His people rest secure.

Our Lord Jesus Christ everlastingly guards His people whom He calls His vineyard. He grafts them into Himself, the True Vine, that they might be fruitful through all the earth. He gathers them to Himself that they might be numbered in His church and arrayed in glory as His Bride.

Isaiah looked forward with eager hope to the gospel day in which we live. He was blessed to see the day of the Lord and the success of the Saviour as He opened wide the gates of the church and brought many ‘sons unto glory’. Isaiah saw the blessings of imputed righteousness, peace with God, enlargement of the church, regeneration and full gospel blessing. What comforted Isaiah are the privileges we enjoy.

The mountain of the Lord is His church. God’s elect people are redeemed by Christ’s blood, called in grace by the Holy Ghost and protected in the palm of The Father’s hand. This is Mt Zion where God reigns in the midst of His people. Isaiah gives us three promises from the Lord concerning what He shall do ‘in this mountain’. In God’s church He will feed His people with gospel fare, unveil their eyes to heavenly truth and destroy their enemies that they be no longer troubled.

Our sovereign and holy God is the judge who comes in righteousness to turn this world upside down. Yet, the Lord’s people are safeguarded and protected by the Saviour Himself who visits His own children with mercy, comfort and strength in their trials in this world.

Our Lord Jesus Christ visited the city of Tyre to bless its inhabitants with the gospel. He visits His people still to bring mercy and grace. When the Lord visits His people with transforming grace they are transformed and filled with new passions, new purpose and new life in Christ. The people of Tyre made their living from sea-trade but when the Lord visited Tyre what had once supported the worship of Baal was now directed to the glory of God and preaching of the gospel.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a ‘nail in a sure place’. The souls of all God’s elect hang upon the person and work of the blessed Saviour Jesus Christ within the covenant of purposes of God. He is all our salvation and He is all our desire. On the cross the Saviour hung between heaven and earth. There all our sin was laid on Him and carried by Him.
