Verse 10

A HAPPY PROSPECT

‘Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.’

Isaiah 35:10

I. The sorrow of bodily disease shall pass away.

II. The sorrow of dying will pass away.

III. The sorrow of bereavement will pass away.

IV. The sorrow of poverty will flee away.

V. The sorrows caused by the sins of others will flee away.

VI. The sorrows produced by the fear of evil, by dark imaginations, and by blighted hopes, shall flee away.

VII. The sorrows of this life’s illusions and delusions shall all pass away.

VIII. The sorrows of sin will pass away.

IX. The bitterness of the heart shall flee away.

Illustration

‘Sorrow ends when sin and the discipline that sin needs have ended. Sighing ends when weariness, loss, physical pain, and all the other ills that flesh is heir to have ceased to vex and weigh upon the spirit. Life purges the dross of imperfection from character. Death purges the alloy of sorrow and sighing from joy, and leaves the perfected spirit possessor of the pure gold of perfect and eternal gladness.’
