There is an infinite majesty about every line of Scripture, but especially about that part of Scripture in which the Lord reveals himself and his glorious plan of saving grace, in the person of his dear Son Jesus Christ. The cross of Christ hath a great claim upon you. Hear what Jesus preaches from the tree. God s claim to be heard lies, also, in the condescension which has led him to speak to us. It was something for God to have made the world and bid us look at the work of his hands.
Creation is a picture-book for children.
But for God to speak in the language of mortal men is still more marvelous, if you come to think of it. The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it then it is no trifle. God never speaks vanity. No line of his writing treats of the frivolous themes of a day. That which may be forgotten in an hour is for mortal man, and not for the eternal God.
