Isaías 63:1-6
Piper writes: This has been one of the most influential sentences I have ever read regarding how we talk about Christ. Does this mean that any conscious craft or art in writing or speaking elevates self and obscures the truth that Christ is mighty to save? (The Power of Words and the Wonder of God) Charles Simeon: Consider how “mighty He is to save:” He is “a Saviour and a Great One [Isaiah 19:20.],” even “a Prince and a Saviour [Acts 5:31.];” or rather as he is called by an inspired Apostle, “The great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ [Titus 2:13.].” This is the great argument whereby he encourages us all to trust in him; “Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God [Isaiah 45:22.]!” and this is the view in which all his Ministers are commanded to hold Him forth: we must “lift up our voice with strength, and say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God [Isaiah 40:9-10.]!” C H
