When Christ teaches, he not only illuminates, but animates. He teaches, that he quickens. 'I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall have lumen vitæ, the light of life.' John viii 12.

He can with the least touch of his Spirit convert: he can say, 'Let there be light;' with a word he can convey grace.

When Christ teaches, he makes us obey. Others may instruct, but cannot command obedience: they teach to be humble, but men remain proud.

See the misery of man in the state of nature. Before Christ becomes their prophet they are enveloped in ignorance and darkness. Men know nothing in a sanctified manner, they know nothing as they ought to know. 1 Cor viii 2. This is sad.

Labour to have Christ for your prophet. He teaches savingly: he is an interpreter of a thousand, he can untie those knots which puzzle angels. Till Christ teach, we never learn any lesson; till Christ is made to us wisdom, we shall never be wise to salvation.

To this therefore did Paul flee, as to the horns of the altar. 'That I may be found in him, not having my own righteousness.' Phil iii 9.

Grace in the saints is as water in the vessel, grace in Christ is as water in the spring.

Christ's blood is called sanguis Dei, the blood of God, in Acts xx 28, it was God who was offended, and it was God who satisfied.

Where shall salvation be found? The angel says, It is not in me; mortality says, It is not in me; the ordinance says, It is not in me. Christ alone is the well-spring of life; the ordinance is the conduit pipe that conveys salvation, but Christ is the spring that feeds it.

As a word is the interpreter of the mind, and reveals what is in a man's breast; so Jesus Christ reveals his Father's mind to us concerning the great matters of our salvation.

God will so love the saints that he will not forsake them; and the saints shall so fear God that they shall not forsake him.
