“ Great Sermon! ” What a good and instructive sermon! Let us bear in mind that Jacob was a vessel of mercy, a vessel God would prepare for glory. God will and must chastise every son whom He receives. This discipline will last for many years even to our hoary heads. A newly converted soul will very soon discover that he has much,very much indwelling sin and corruption, a cesspool of iniquity and wickedness and this God must purge. Like the house of Lev 14 that is full of leprosy and must be taken down stone by stone and then layed aside and new stones,new mortar and new plaster be used and so the old goes and the new comes. What a fitting description of all the sons God prepares for glory. Every precious and costly stone God places in that glorious temple was quarried by Him but as it is it has no beauty or glory. God then begins to cut and chisel away at this stone until its fit, perfect and beautiful and full of glory. This is now ready for the temple. So as it was with Jacob so it is with all the election of grace. After listening to this sermon my much discouraged and down cast spirit was revived, just like the corpse in the grave Elisha was lowered into and revived. This is an excellent sermon which Mr Beeke brings out the secret and mysterious workings of Him who is God. Blessed be for ever.
