Reader! do observe: The question is, What shall I give unto the Lord? under a sense of his mercies. A strange answer is returned. I will receive the cup of salvation. Yes! Jesus and his gospel are the free unmerited gift of God in Christ; not held forth for our purchase, but for our acceptance. The bountiful Giver needs not the gifts of his creatures. Besides, the things themselves are too costly to be purchased. Precious Jesus! thou drankest the cup of trembling. And thy people are called to take the cup of salvation! Zechariah 12:2; Isaiah 51:17; John 18:11; Luke 22:17.
