Isaiah 53:1-12 Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?… I. THE GREAT SUBJECT OF PREACHING, and the preacher's great errand, is to report concerning Jesus Christ — to bring good tidings concerning Him. II. THE GREAT DUTY OF HEARERS is, to believe this report and, by virtue of it, to be brought to rest on Jesus Christ. III. THE GREAT, THOUGH THE ORDINARY, SIN OF THE GENERALITY OF THE HEARERS OF THE GOSPEL is unbelief. IV. THE GREAT COMPLAINT, WEIGHT AND GRIEF OF AN HONEST MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL is this — that his message is not taken off his hand; that Christ is not received, believed in and rested on. (J. Durham.)
