Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 9:3

"Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil." — Isaiah 9:3 (ASV)

The Revised Version reads, Thou hast increased their joy. If Christ comes to you, my dear hearer, as God with us, then shall your joy be great; for you shall rejoice as with the joy of harvest, and as those rejoice who divide the spoil. Is it not so? Many of us can bear our witness that there is no joy like that which Jesus brings.
