We read, Job 13:4, of “physicians of no value:” such indeed are all to whom application for remedy is made, besides this heavenly Physician, who never fails to cure such as receive his prescriptions. In what respects Christ is termed a Physician, is to be seen in the following parallel.k
Mediator as applied to Christ, is borrowed from persons, whose office it is to reconcile such parties as are at variance, being as it were in the middle, betwixt both, soliciting the cause of each to the other, till they bring them to concord or agreement.
The Word of God is prepared by the Almighty, a fit means to break in pieces the stony, and rocky hearts of sinners.
Christ in his humiliation was abased so low, as to be in subjection to the Father.
A Well is a fit receptacle for Water, and it is expected Water should be therein; but if it be empty, it greatly deceives and disappoints them that come to draw Water out of it: so ministers should be stored with much grace and heavenly doctrine. But those who come to a False-Teacher, to receive instruction and comfort for their souls, are grievously deceived.
