The Glorious Feast of the Gospel
In this collection of sermons, Richard Sibbes opens Isaiah 25:6-9 to portray the gospel as a lavish royal banquet that God spreads for his people. Sibbes shows Christ as both the host and the feast itself, moving from the spread table to the great promises of the passage: the veil of ignorance removed, death swallowed up in victory, and every tear wiped away. Warm and pastoral throughout, it blends solid doctrine with tender comfort for troubled believers.
Based on The Glorious Feast of the Gospel, sermons on Isaiah 25:6-9 (1650)
From the book
In Richard Sibbes's own words
“We are now come to the banquet, and Christ is the founder of it; nay, he is the Feast itself. He is the Author of it, and he it is that we feed upon.”
“There is in Christ enough to satisfy all the hungry souls in the world, he himself being present at this heavenly banquet.”
“If he bring us to heaven through a valley of tears, it is no matter, for in heaven all tears shall be wiped from our eyes.”
