Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 55:1
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
1. every one —After the special privileges of Israel ( :- ) there follow, as the consequence, the universal invitation to the Gentiles ( Luke 24:47 ; Romans 11:12 ; Romans 11:15 ). Ho —calls the most earnest attention. thirsteth —has a keen sense of need ( Matthew 5:6 ). waters . . . wine and milk —a gradation. Not merely water, which is needed to maintain life at all, but wine and milk to strengthen, cheer, and nourish; the spiritual blessings of the Gospel are meant ( Isaiah 25:6 ; Song of Solomon 5:1 ; John 7:37 ). "Waters," plural, to denote abundance ( Isaiah 43:20 ; Isaiah 44:3 ). no money —Yet, in Isaiah 44:3- : , it is said, "ye spend money." A seeming paradox. Ye are really spiritual bankrupts: but thinking yourselves to have money, namely, a devotion of your own making, ye lavish it on that "which is not bread," that is, on idols, whether literal or spiritual. buy . . . without money —another paradox. We are bought, but not with a price paid by ourselves ( 1 Corinthians 6:20 ; 1 Peter 1:18 ; 1 Peter 1:19 ). In a different sense we are to "buy" salvation, namely, by parting with everything which comes between us and Christ who has bought it for us and by making it our own ( Matthew 13:44 ; Matthew 13:46 ; Luke 12:33 ; Revelation 3:18 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
