How truly blessed is it to a gracious parent, when the Lord giveth gracious children! What a blessed meeting will that be in glory, when such shall surround the throne! The Lord Jesus is introduced by the Prophet, as presenting his seed, his people, which the Father hath given to him, in that day, saying, Behold I, and the children whom the Lord hath given me. And the apostle quotes it by way of confirmation in allusion to Christ: Isaiah 8:18, compared with Hebrews 2:13. And may we not say of under pastors in Christ's household, who labour in the word and doctrine; how truly blessed to see the fruit of those labours, at that day, in precious souls, won by the word, under the Spirit's quickening and regenerating power, to Jesus! It will be a blessed surprise to many a faithful servant of Jesus at that day to behold such! And parents also! no doubt many among them will find cause to bless the Lord, and not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
