Jeremiah 33

The promises are mulctralia Evangelii, the breasts of the Gospel milking out consolation; and who are to suck of these breasts but God's children. The promise of pardon is for them; (Jeremiah 33:8). I will pardon all their iniquity whereby they have sinned against me. The promis…

When a poor sinner looks upon himself, and sees his guilt, and when he looks upon God's justice and holiness, he falls down confounded, but here is that may be as cork to the net, to keep him from despair, if you will leave your sins and come to Christ, mercy can seal your pardo…

Yes, sometimes it is used for such a free purpose of God with respect to other things, which in their own nature are uncapable of being obliged by any moral condition. Such is God's Covenant with day and night (Jeremiah 33:20, 25). And so he says, that he made his Covenant not t…

I will not dispute whether God might have given a Law to men, that should have had nothing in it of a Covenant properly so called, as is the Law of Creation to all other creatures which has no rewards nor punishments annexed to it. Yet this God calls a Covenant also, inasmuch as…

As God appointed Christ a priest for his Church to sacrifice for them, a prophet to teach them; so the other office of king is conferred upon him for the same end, the advantage of the Church. God acquaints us of this end, aimed at by him, in the promise of the government to him…

And this may be added further, that this place seems not only to be meant of the private or personal conversion of this or that particular Christian, but also further, of the open and joint calling of a company, because it is said, they shall come, the children of Israel and the…

If we well consider the prayers that we find recorded in the Book of Psalms, I believe we shall see reason to think, that a very great, if not the greater part of them, are prayers uttered, either in the name of Christ, or in the name of the Church, for such a mercy: and undoubt…

These heavenly bodies by their setting and rising, cause light and darkness, and consequently are the authors of the successive returns of day and night to us. This is set them as an immoveable and never failing constitution, and therefore is styled the Covenant of the Day and N…

Jeremiah 30.21. Jeremiah 33.15, 16. Hosea 3:5.

2. From whom it comes, it's from him, her being his love, makes her like the lily. 3. The nearness of the mystical union, that is between Christ and his Bride; it is such, that thereby they some way share names (Jeremiah 23:6 and Jeremiah 33:16). 3. He intermixes her beauty and…

In the exhortation or invitation, consider: 1. the party invited, or called. 2. The duty called for. 3. Its repetition. The party called, is a Shulamite: this word comes either from Solomon, as the husband's name is named over the wife (Isaiah 4:1), and it is from the same root…

See also Jeremiah 31:12, 13 and Amos 9:13. Yea then they shall receive all manner of tokens of God's presence, and acceptance, and favor Jeremiah 33:9. "And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good…

2. That in heaven there is an emblem of it: it is usual in Scripture to set forth the stability and constancy of God's word by this similitude; as (Psalm 89:2): Mercy shall be built up forever, your faithfulness have you established in the very heavens. So when it is compared wi…

Give me leave to lay out the case of these, and then offer them some counsel: for the discovery of such, let these things be observed. 1. There are those that have had something of a common work on them, every one has a natural conscience in him, whose nature and office is to re…

We see how by his mercy the Lord reconciles us to himself. And so in another place, when he foretells that the people shall be gathered together again, whom he had scattered abroad in his wrath, he says, I will cleanse them from all wickedness with which they have sinned against…

Jeremiah 33:16. "And this is the name with which he shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness." Whoever is but a little acquainted with the nature of man in general, and the impurity of his own heart in particular, I am persuaded he must acknowledge that self-righteousness is…

2. Meditate upon promises of Sanctification. The earth is not so apt to be overgrown with weeds and thorns, as the heart is to be overgrown with lusts; now, God has made many promises of healing, Hosea 14:4, and purging, Jeremiah 33:8. Promises of sending his Spirit; which for i…

Thirdly and lastly, promises are arguments to infer our purification, because in many of them that is the very matter of which they consist, and so the power and fidelity of God is engaged for our purification. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity whereby they have sinned…
