A Shared Victory

Commentators explain that when God delivers one suffering person, it serves as a public promise and source of hope for all afflicted believers. Seeing God's faithfulness to one person encourages everyone who seeks Him, assuring them that their hearts, too, will be revived. As John Calvin notes, this deliverance is a 'common token' of God's grace for all.
