Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 44:21-22

"Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee." — Isaiah 44:21-22 (ASV)

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant: I have formed you, you are my servant: O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return to me; for I have redeemed you.

Out of all the world, God had a chosen people, his own Israel, to whom he revealed himself, but they also turned aside to idols, yet here he bids them return to him. Even to this day, they bear their protest against idols bravely. I wish to God that they also knew the Christ of God, and worshipped him. All believers are the true Israel after the spirit, and are to maintain forever the glory of the one only living and true God.

For you are my servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sin: return to me; for I have redeemed you.

These wooden gods have done nothing of the sort. Come back to the true God, and worship him, and be happy in his love.
