Isaiah 27:6. “He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.”
GOOD FRUIT. The vineyard was trampled; the vines were broken down. There was no fruit to gather, none was anywhere to be found. The empires of the world had conquered and taken away - God's chosen people: since then it has been a fruitless day. But God has kept His eye on that vineyard so there still are the roots - And when the right time comes, there will come forth good shoots. The true Israel of God will be the channel through which the world is blessed. Good fruit will be found when the world is finally at rest.
Through trials and suffering God's people have survived. In the time yet to come when the vineyard is revived - The spread of righteousness will bring an end to sin's awful power. God will in righteousness and justice, on the whole world shower The benefits of His vineyard, though for centuries it has been hid. People will marvel at the grace of the Lord in spite of what His people did - When they rejected the Savior, His covenant and His Word - They then will be able share in the blessings of the Lord.
The first world-wide blessing that came from the vineyard was when - The Savior was here, and though He was despised and rejected of men, He did fulfill the plan of redemption which He paid for by His death - And made it possible for His Gospel to be spread over all the earth. Now there are Christians to be found on every continent and clime - The root of Jacob brought good fruit through Christ at that special time. Now there are millions who have tasted and seen that it is good. In the future, as at present, the world is blessed by that fruit.
“O God, I know all over the world there are Jews waiting for Messiah to come. I am thankful that I learned early in life that He has come to save me and will come again to receive me to Himself. In view of that wonderful blessing, I pray that in the conversations before us this day, we will be able to help people appreciate the blessings we already have. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
