Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment." — Isaiah 63:2-3 (ASV)
Why are you red in your apparel, and your garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me:
In all Christ's redeeming work he was alone. None could help him to redeem his people. He must alone pay the ransom price.
None could help him in his last great battle, when he stood forth as the sole Champion of all whom his Father had given to him.
"Death and hell will he dethrone,
By his single arm alone."
