Commentary on Isaiah 50:8

Theological / Devotional

He is near. As Jesus hung on the cross the Father was near at hand, though Jesus knew it not (see DA 753, 754).

Mine adversary. Satan, “the accuser” (Rev. 12:10; cf. Zech. 3:1), arraigned Christ, but had no valid charge to bring against Him (see John 14:30). Christ was innocent, and knew that His accuser knew it as well. The false charges brought against Jesus revealed the malice of those who brought them.
