From the Geneva Notes . From Matthew Henry's Commentary . All that is to be done to rescue sinners, and to bring the believer to glory, is little, compared with that wondrous work of love, the redemption of man. From Wesley's Notes . At Religion Online .
Nothing is today as it was yesterday.
Yet sometimes a new thing appears which does not age so easily, which makes life possible again, in both our personal and our historical existence, a saving new, which has the power to appear when we least expect it, and which has the power to throw into the past what is old and burdened with guilt and curse. The idea here is, quite to the contrary, the ease with which the Lord eliminates any resistance to His will, as easily as a man quenches the typical flaxen wick of an oil-burning lamp of antiquity.
