Isaiah 52:10 The LORD has made bore his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. I. THE SALVATION OF GOD. "Salvation" carries our meditations direct unto the names and the offices of Him, of whom it hath been said, "Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins." And in this connection the whole scheme of mercy and eternal life bursts at once upon our view. 1. It is a great salvation. 2. An everlasting salvation. 3. A complete salvations. 4. A salvation all of God and of grace. II. THE CERTAINTY OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THIS PROMISE, as an encouragement to us to do our duty. If "all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God," an imperious necessity is laid upon us to favour every opportunity which offers of sending the report of this salvation to all parts of the earth. The truth of the promise, and the certainty of its accomplishment, might be argued — 1. From the Divine purposes taken in connection with the first promise. 2. From the settlement with Abraham respecting the coming of his promised seed. 3. From the style of the prophets, and the expectations which they excite. 4. From the progress of Christianity through the world, in defiance of all the opposition which has been combined against it. (W. Taylor.)
