But all the children of zion shall be taught of the Lord, and, therefore, they will be a people of great peace, and great holiness. Such is the case of spiritual Zion at this moment. They are all taught, not of man, nor of angel, but of the Lord, and their peace passeth all understanding. Meditate on the great teacher, the Lord. He alone knows divine things as they are.
Ministers have but glimpses into the eternal world.
They see but little of sin, of the shortness of time, of the depth of hell, of the love of God of the person, work, and grace of Christ. Therefore they cannot teach effectually. Books also are infinitely imperfect. The best of them are but sparks from the Bible, mingled with human darkness. But the Lord knows all things as they are.
