Behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry

The better feast

It is observable how frequently in Holy Scripture mankind are divided into two classes.

In the text, the Lord God Himself clearly distinguishes between His servants and others. The one shall eat, drink, and rejoice; the other shall hunger, thirst, and be sorrowful.

I. THE BLESSEDNESS OF THE LORD’S SERVANTS.

II. THE MISERY OF THOSE WHO DISOBEY HIM. (W. Mudge.)

Incentives to religious decision

I. FROM THE SUPERIOR ADVANTAGES OF THE RELIGIOUS LIFE BEYOND ALL THE BOASTED DISTINCTIONS OR PROFESSION OF WORLDLY AND UNGODLY MEN.

1. They have a better Master and portion.

2. They have better resources and supplies.

3. They have better enjoyments.

4. They have better prospects.

II. FROM THE PECULIAR SOURCES OF DISSATISFACTION AND WRETCHEDNESS TO WHICH YOU ARE EXPOSED. (S. Thodey.)
