Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
      III. It is very observable that what in Samuel is said to be for thy word's sake is here said to be for thy servant's sake,1 Chronicles 17:19; 1 Chronicles 17:19. Jesus Christ is both the Word of God (Revelation 19:13) and the servant of God (Isaiah 42:1), and it is for his sake, upon the score of his meditation, that the promises are both made and made good to all believers; it is in him that they are yea and amen. For his sake is all kindness done, for his sake it is made known; to him we owe all this greatness and from him we are to expect all these great things; they are the unsearchable riches of Christ, which, if by faith we see in themselves and see in the hand of the Lord Jesus, we cannot but magnify as great things, the only true greatness, and speak honourably of accordingly.
