Exodus 24

They gave themselves first to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God, when we have bestowed ourselves upon God, he is not wanting to receive us, to be his people. Now for further opening of this, it was said this covenant was made with God by way of sacrifice (Psalm 50:5,7)…

When Abraham went to worship in the mount, he left his servants below in the valley, lest they should obstruct his communion with God. When Moses was to go up to the Lord, though Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders went further than the people, yet the text says, they…

Sixthly, the law has Moses for the mediator (Deuteronomy 5:27), but Christ is the mediator of the new testament (Hebrews 8:6). Lastly, the law was dedicated by the blood of beasts (Exodus 24:5), and the new Testament, by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:12). Here then falls to the…

Life is promised, but it must be sought only in the death and resurrection of Christ. This too is the reason why God commanded of old, that the book of the law should be sprinkled with the blood of the sacrifice, (Exodus 24:8; Hebrews 9:19, 20.) It is also worthy of notice, that…

Let us therefore learn that, by the guidance of the Spirit, Christ withdrew from the crowd of men, in order that he might come forth as the highest teacher of the church, as the ambassador of God, — rather as sent from heaven, than as taken from some town, and from among the com…

Wait awhile, and you shall be possessed of a kingdom. When Moses went up to receive God's commands, he stayed six days on the Mount, and on the seventh day, God called to him (Exodus 24:16). Though we wait long, and have not the thing waited for, yet let us continue doing our du…

So it was a human form in which Christ appeared to the seventy elders, of which we have an account. Exodus 24:9-11: "Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel." "And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet, as it were a p…

Now our answer to this demand of God, and to this interrogatory he puts to us in the covenant, it is sealed by us in baptism; and it is renewed in the Lord's Supper. Look as in the old sacrifices, they were all a renewing of the oath of allegiance to God, or confirming their pur…

For so Paul (Romans 10:5-7, etc.) expounds Moses (Deuteronomy 30:11-14). 4. The Covenant of Works taught nothing of the way of expiation of sin by blood typifying the Ransom of blood that Christ was to pay for our sins, as this Covenant all along had sacrifices and blood to conf…

Hence by way of excellency he calls it the Covenant, the Covenant of the Lord (Jeremiah 2[illegible]:9; Deuteronomy 4:23; Joshua 23:11); My Covenant, says the Lord (Genesis 17:7, 9, 10; Exodus 19:5; Psalm 50:16); His Covenant (Psalm 105:8); He remembered his Covenant forever (Ps…

This promise is not formally made to Christ, yet it is a special Covenant-promise (Jeremiah 31; Ezekiel 11; Hebrews 8); for there is no stony heart in Christ, yet the promise is laid down in him, and made to him, eminenter; for by the merit of his blood (for he sanctified the pe…

If you believe, you may be baptized: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God; if you believe there is no salvation but in Christ, whether you feel the comfort of it, yes or no, if you believe there it is to be had, you may be baptized, wait therefore upon every…
