Without question, our text is a prophecy of the salvation and grace accomplished for us and bestowed upon us by the Lord Jesus Christ. Here Isaiah, by the Spirit of inspiration, declares the grace of the gospel and the everlasting glory of God's saints in heaven, which is the crown and consummation of grace. In preaching the gospel of Christ we proclaim to needy sinners the accomplishments and provisions of grace for the everlasting consolation of God's elect (Isaiah 40:1-2).
