• The Apostle Peter wrote to the scattered Jewish believers of his day how “the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you”, which grace meant “salvation” (1 Peter 1:10); and here is a case in point. In the presence of their evil, God falls back upon His original purpose and His redeeming work. (“Isaiah 43” by F.B. Hole)
• First, by the declaration of what God will do in His sovereign mercy for His poor blind and deaf people...second, though all this grace is so strikingly promised, the existing state of the people in rebellion and sin is not glossed over. They are again made to face their fallen state. (“Isaiah 43” by F.B. Hole)
