| 1 | Mark 4:26–32 | Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how. All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within. And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come. ” Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth. But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.” |

Isaiah 61:11 Summary
This verse, Isaiah 61:11, is saying that just like the earth grows and develops naturally, God will cause righteousness and praise to grow and develop in our lives. This means that as we trust in Him, He will help us to live lives that are pleasing to Him and that reflect His goodness (as seen in Psalm 37:3-4). As we seek to live for Him, we will be a witness to the world of His love and character, and He will bring forth righteousness and praise in our lives, just like a garden brings forth beautiful flowers (similar to what is described in Song of Solomon 4:16). By trusting in God's power and seeking to live for Him, we can experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from living a life that is pleasing to Him (as described in Psalm 16:11).

What is the significance of 'righteousness and praise' springing up before all nations?

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 61:11
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud,.... Of tender grass in the spring of the year, after a long and cold winter, being well manured: and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 61:11
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 61:11
As the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth: by this and the other metaphor he shows not only the reviving of the blessings of the church after they had been as it were dead in the winter of affliction, but the great plenty and abundance of blessings that should break forth; that which had been as a wilderness shall be as a paradise, pointing at the effects of his grace and bounty. So the Lord God will cause righteousness to spring forth, i.e. his great work of salvation shall break out and appear. And praise, as the natural product and fruit of it; his own glory being the principal end of making his righteousness to appear and manifest itself. Before all nations: these things will not be done in a corner, but will be eminently conspicuous in the sight of all the world, for which purpose those hymns penned by the godly will ever be famous in the churches of Christ to all ages, as of Moses, Hannah, Mary, Zacharias, Simeon, &c.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 61:11
Isaiah 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.Ver. 11. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud.] Hic rursum loquitur Christus, saith Piscator: here Christ speaketh again, giving us to understand that piety is planted by God in the hearts of his people. We are God’ s husbandry, saith the apostle; see Mark 3:26-28. The Church is Christ’ s garden. Howbeit it is with holy affections as with exotic noble plants; this country is not so kindly for them, being but a stepmother to them; therefore must they be much watered and cherished, &c. We have a gracious promise that our hearts shall be like watered gardens, and that if we quench not the Spirit, but quicken and cherish it, there shall flow out of our belly, that is, out of the bosom and bottom of our souls shall flow rivers of living water, better than those that watered the garden of Eden; so that we shall be filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 61:11
(11) As the earth bringeth forth her bud . . .—The passage is memorable as at least suggesting the leading thought of the parable of the sower, and the appropriation of that title to Himself by the Son of Man (Matthew 13:3-23; Matthew 13:37; Mark 4:26-29).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 61:11
Verse 11. The Lord God - "The Lord JEHOVAH"] "אדני Adonai, the Lord, makes the line longer than the preceding and following; and the Septuagint, Alexandrian, (and MSS. Pachom. and I. D. II.,) and Arabic, do not so render it. Hence it seems to be interpolated." - Dr. JUBB. Three MSS. have it not. See on Isaiah 61:1 of this chapter. Both words אדני יהוה Adonai Jehovah, are wanting in one of my MSS.; but are supplied in the margin by a later hand.
