INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
"Christ stood for the children our our people when he was made sin & a curse for them, stood in their stead as a sacrifice, bore the curse for them, to bear it from them. He stands for them in the intercession he ever lives to make within the veil, stands up for them & stands their friend."
"When Christ appears he will recompense tribulation to those that trouble his people." "When God works deliverance for his people from persecution it is a kind of resurrection" "There is a glory reserved for all the saints in the future state, for all that are wise, wise for their souls & eternity." "The more good any do in this world, especially to the souls of men, the greater will be their glory & reward in the other world. Those that turn men to righteousness, that turn sinners from the errors of their ways & help to save their souls from death (James 5:20), will share in the glory of those they have helped to heaven, which will be a great addition to their own glory." "Those that would have their knowledge increased must take pains, must not sit still in slothfulness & bare wishes but run to and fro, must make use of all the means of knowledge & improve all opportunities of getting their mistakes rectified, their doubts resolved, & their acquaintance with the things of God improved, to know more & to know better what they do know." "The further we look into the things of God, & the more we converse with them, the more we shall see of those things, & still new discoveries will be made to us; those that know much, if they improve it, shall know more." "God's time to succour & relieve his people is when their affairs are brought to the last extremity; in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen that Isaac is saved just when he lies ready to be sacrificed." "Christ's public ministry continued 3 years & a half, during which time he endured the contradiction of sinners against himself, & lived in poverty & disgrace; & then when his power seemed to be quite scattered at his death, & his enemies triumphed over him, he obtained the most glorious victory & said, It is finished." "Great is the truth, & will prevail at long-run. All opposing rule, principality, & power, will be put down, & holiness & love will triumph, & be in honour, to eternity. The end, this end, will come." "We long to see all wheat & no tares in God's field, all corn & no chaff in God's floor; but it will not be till the time of ingathering, till the winnowing day, comes; both must grow together until the harvest." "Willful sin is the effect of willful ignorance; they will not understand because they are wicked; they hate the light, & come not to the light, because their deeds are evil. John 3:19." "Those who are wise in practice shall understand doctrine; those who are influenced & governed by the divine law & love shall be illuminated with a divine light." "A believing hope & prospect of a blessed lot in the heavenly Canaan, at the end of the days, will be an effectual support to us when we are going our way out of this world, & will furnish us with living comforts in dying moments." Matthew Henry's Commentary: Isaiah to Malachi, Mac Donald, pgs. 1111 - 1117.
