Verse 9
THE WATERS OF NOAH
‘The waters of Noah.’
Isaiah 54:9
God’s faithfulness. Faithful to His Word, of promise and of threatening. ‘The waters of Noah’ speak to us. ‘The floods have lifted up their voice.’
I. ‘The waters of Noah’ speak to us of judgment.— (1) Of judgment threatened. ( a) Threatened on account of sin; ( b) against light; ( c) against mercy. (2) Of judgment executed. Their ‘cup of iniquity’ was full. ( a) Their ruin was inevitable; ( b) appalling; ( c) universal.
II.—‘The waters of Noah’ speak to us of mercy.—(1) Of mercy promised; promised to Noah; a test of his faith and obedience; had nothing but God’s bare word; enough. (2) Of mercy granted; Christ our Ark; the only place of safety; room for all; still open; free.
