*A HAPPY EXODUS*
**‘For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace.’**
** [Isaiah 55:12](../../../kjv/isaiah/55/12)**
** To the Jew in Isaiah’s time this promise doubtless bore reference to three things: the return from the seventy years’ captivity; their ultimate restoration, first to their own land, and then to Christ; and God’s way of dealing with each individual’s own soul. To us it stands only in the last reference; to us the words are simply spiritual.
**I. The ‘going out’ appears to relate to that great moral exodus when a man emerges from a state of nature into a state of grace, from bondage to liberty, from darkness to light, from the world to Christ.**—This is indeed to be with joy. The being led forth denotes the further experiences of the Christian.
**II. What is joy?**—(1) Novelty of perception. (2) Keenness of perception. (3) Sweetness of perception.
**III. ‘And be led forth with peace.’**—As we go on in the spiritual life the sense of sin grows deeper and deeper; and a deep sense of weakness, nothingness, and guilt, combining with a fuller sense of pardon and love, makes joy peace.
—Rev. James Vaughan.
