In the Servant Songs, we saw that a Servant would come who would bear our iniquities and inaugurate a new age through his death and resurrection. Now Isaiah invites all to a banquet feast to celebrate and share in the reign of the Messianic King.

Motivation to Come to the Feast (55: 1-2)

55:1 “Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have no money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.
2″Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And delight yourself in abundance.- Isaiah 55:1-2 NASB
  • The banquet is glorious!
  • The banquet is available!
  • The banquet is high quality!
  • The banquet is free!
  • Other “banquets” are empty in comparison.
  • The passion of the Host bids you to come.
  • The way to enter the feast is to listen and believe.

Results of this Feast (55:3-5)

3″Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that you may live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the faithful mercies shown to David.
4″Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
A leader and commander for the peoples.
5″Behold, you will call a nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will run to you,
Because of the LORD your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.” – Isaiah 55:3-5 NASB
  • Partake of the “feast”, you will have eternal life with the Messiah.
  • The “feast” is the Messianic King, the Servant.
  • His kingdom will not be established by the sword, just call and they will come.
  • Compare with 2 Samuel 7:12-16, John 6:35-40, and John 7:37-38.
