CHRIST THE JUDGE OF ALL.
There are five things in this Judge which make His wrath more dreadful. 1. He is such a Judge, that the power of the most powerful cannot daunt. 2. He is such a Judge, that the wealth of the most wealthy cannot bribe. 3. He is such a Judge, that the wit and subtlety of the wisest and most subtle
cannot delude. 4. He is such a Judge, that there is no appealing from His sentence. 5. He is such a Judge, that there is no repealing of His sentence—Job xix. 25.—Caryl.
SATISFYING THE THIRST.
When a man goes thirsty to the well, his thirst is not allayed merely by going there. On the contrary, it is increased every step he goes. It is by what he draws out of the well that his thirst is satisfied. And just so, it is not by the mere bodily exercise of waiting on ordinances that you will ever come to peace, but by tasting of Jesus in the ordinances—whose flesh is meat indeed, and His blood drink indeed.—McCheyne.
