Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

As the supports of life, so the means of grace, are continued to us after they have been a thousand times forfeited. The rebellion of the people to whom this ambassador is sent; he is sent to reduce them to their allegiance, to bring back the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He was now to be employed as a prophet, God's ambassador, and a ruler over the kingdoms ( Jer. i. 10 ), a post of great honour, but he must remember that he is a son of man, and, whatever good he did, it was not by any might of his own, for he was a son of man, but in the strength of divine grace, which must therefore have all the glory.
