THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ISAIAH
"THE BELIEVER'S COMFORT"

Lesson 12
Isaiah 40:1-9

Henry Mahan


(Vs. 1) "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God."

(Vs. 2) What shall I say to His people to comfort them? What is the believer's source of greatest comfort? It is the good news of the gospel!

(Vs. 3-5) John the Baptist is the voice crying in the wilderness of Judea. There is a threefold effect of his office: (a) the humiliation of some, (b) the exaltation of others, and (c) the revelation of the glory of Christ Jesus.
(Vs. 6-9) I prefer to look at these verses together, for I see the twofold, actually the three-fold, message of evangelism. Here is a command, "Cry!" and a question, "What shall I cry?" What shall I preach? What is the message men need to hear?
