  • Imagery of a Triple Fountain and a Rainbow from MacLaren’s Commentary on Isaiah 55:1

In his 2nd point when he is explaining what the offer consists of, he uses the imagery of a triple fountain. In Isaiah 55:1 God says, “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and…

  • Part 2 MacLaren’s Commentary on Isaiah 55:1

    I’m going to pick up today where I left off in my previous post. We were going through MacLaren’s Commentary on Isaiah 55:1, which says, “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.”…

  • Imagery of Fountain of Living Water; MacLaren’s Commentary on Isaiah 55:1

    The Spurgeon sermon I referenced in my previous post is called “Man’s Thoughts and God’s Thoughts” and the verse he is preaching on is Isaiah 55:1.
