Isaiah 55:4

Isaiah 55:4. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

He who is our greater David comes to us to bear witness to the immutable love of God, and to be to us our Captain and our King. Happy are the souls that accept this David to be their Leader. You remember how David, in the cave Adullam, gathered to himself "every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, and he became a captain over them." Even so, the great Antitype, David’s Son and David’s Lord, is willing now to gather to himself those who are spiritually bankrupt, discontented, and weary with the world, and God says, ‘ I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people."
