Isaiah 24:22-23

Here is a most precious conclusion, and full of gospel mercies. Jesus was called by the Father purposely to bring the prisoners out of the prison, and them that sat in darkness out of the prison-house. And when we observe the promise here given, that though shut up, yet after many days they shall be visited; what a sweet testimony is this of the grace of God in Christ Jesus. Consult those scriptures, Isaiah 42:6; Zechariah 9:11; Luke 4:14. Reader, ask your own heart, must not Jesus in such a day, and in the display of such mercies as are here said to be shown by him, in visiting his people after many days, must he not be truly glorious, in the eyes of his redeemed? Yes! the moon shall look pale, and even the sun blush, and hide his diminished head, as overawed and having lost all lustre, in being eclipsed by his Maker and his Lord!
