Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 60:3-4

"And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms." — Isaiah 60:3-4 (ASV)

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Or, rather, "shall be carried as by a nurse upon her side." The strong ones—the sons—shall come walking; the weaker ones—the daughters—shall be carried like children who need to be nursed; but they shall all come.

Today, the Church of Christ has to "go." The message to Christ's disciples still is, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. The Church must send her heralds far and wide to tell the good news; but a blessed change will be brought about when the nations will come to hear the story, flocking in crowds to listen to it, and Christ will be sought by those who never sought him before.

"O long-expected day, begin;
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin!"
