I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
There is no doubt great inequality in common life: and not unfrequently, men that are princes in understanding, may be constrained to walk in menial offices, while others weak in intellect, ride in high places. But the beauty of this scripture is in the spiritual sense of it. Here we find in the general, that those whom Jesus hath made kings and priests to God and the Father, are among the offscouring of the earth; while not many mighty, not many noble are called. Oh! how different are the Lord's views from our views, and his thoughts from our thoughts. James 2:5; Revelation 1:6; 1 Corinthians 1:26; 1 Samuel 16:7.
