We cannot err in the application of these things to the LORD JESUS and his Gospel; because the HOLY GHOST hath directly done so by the ministry of his servant the apostle. He calls it the righteousness which is by faith. I pray the Reader to compare the two passages together: Romans 10:1 from the 4th verse to the 10th. When he hath done this, I would recommend him to pause over both, and see whether Moses did not in this place very plainly preach CHRIST. Since the SON of GOD came down from heaven, we need not say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, to bring GOD'S will to us? And since the SON of GOD, after redemption-work was finished by him, returned to glory, we need not say, Who shall go up from the deep. JESUS hath opened the communication between the two worlds; and JESUS himself is the word, both the written and the uncreated word, which is nigh unto his people in the mouth, and in the heart, the hope of glory. Oh! precious salvation! may I esteem this holy word more than my necessary food. Job 23:12. And yet more, JESUS the uncreated word, John 1:1.
