The Union Of Christ And His People<\/p>\n
It often happens, in the Psalms, that you can scarcely tell whether it<\/p>\n
is David, or the Lord Jesus, or both of them, to whom the writer is<\/p>\n
referring. Oftentimes you lose sight of David altogether, and are quiet<\/p>\n
certain that he is not there; while, at other times, the words seem equally<\/p>\n
suited either to David as the type, or to Jesus as the antitype. I think<\/p>\n
that this fact is very instructive to us. It is as the Holy Ghost intended,<\/p>\n
even in those ancient times, to let God\u2019s saints know that there is a<\/p>\n
mysterious union between Christ and His people, so that almost all things<\/p>\n
which may be said concerning Him may be said, also, concerning those who are<\/p>\n
in Him. They are so completely one, they are so intimately united in bonds<\/p>\n
of mystic, vital, conjugal, eternal union, that it would not be possible<\/p>\n
always to keep the sayings concerning them apart. \u2014 Charles Spurgeon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
