Congregation, what a great wonder it is when God opens His Word for such exiles, when
He sends His servants and commands them to preach a comforting message, as Isaiah had to do.
The people of Israel in Babylon, as a remnant according to the election of His grace, were visited
by heaven, addressed by the prophet, and favoured through Jesus Christ. They were delivered
by Him who bore their punishment and obtained divine comfort for them. What is comfort? It
is a solid ground, a sweet consolation, and a living hope for those who have no hope, no comfort,
and no ground to stand before the living God.
