What is this plentiful rain, which Jehovah sent upon his inheritance, but Christ himself? He, it was said, should come down like rain upon the mown grass; Psalms 72:6. And when Jesus comes to a church, to a land, to a people, to an individual, what gifts and graces of the Spirit doth he bring with him, to bless, and refresh, and make happy? Reader! observe, the expression, to confirm the Lord's inheritance. Yes! the gift of God's dear Son is a confirmation of all covenant-promises. Hence the Lord made both the wilderness and Canaan, with types only of gospel mercies, to blossom as a rose. Hence the Lord sent the quails, and the manna, and the milk and honey, as so many tokens of divine favor, and as a pledge of the everlasting riches of the Lord Jesus, in the enjoyment of whom Jehovah would confirm his covenant with Abraham forever. Genesis 12:3. In the faith of this, the Patriarchs lived and died, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced them: and thus in the overflowing goodness of the Lord, the Lord manifested his love to his poor. Hebrews 11:13.
