Ezekiel:47

Verse Romans -
11 .
It is wisdom to begin with that which is most easy ,
before we proceed to that which is dark and hard to be understood .
The promises of the sacred word ,
and the privileges of believers ,
as shed abroad in their souls by the quickening Spirit ,
abound where the gospel is preached ;
they nourish and delight the souls of men ;
they never fade nor wither ,
nor are exhausted .
Even the leaves serve as medicines to the soul :
the warnings and reproofs of the word ,
though less pleasant than Divine consolations ,
tend to heal the diseases of the soul .
All who believe in Christ ,
and are united to him by his sanctifying Spirit ,
will share the privileges of Israelites .
There is room in the church ,
and in heaven ,
for all who seek the blessings of that new covenant of which Christ is Mediator . ****
Matthew Henry '
s Commentary ****
