Isaiah 55:12-13 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing… 1. Novelty of perception. It is a wonderfully new feeling when a soul first tastes the promises and grasps its own interest in Christ. 2. Keenness of perception. Keen is the first sense of sin to a penitent, and keen is the first sense of pardon to a believer. In that early dawn the soul's atmosphere is so clear that every object stands out in its distinctness. 3. Sweetness of perception. Sweeter are those perceptions than they are keen. Are they not the touches of the Holy Ghost They are all about beautiful things — saints and angels, a holy heaven, and a perfect Jesus. (J. Vaughan, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. |
