Great Sermon! What a good sermon!!! How little (if at all) is such teaching understood by the religious masses today. The common notion that seems to prevail in this day and age is, that God is some abstract diety that doesn't really concern himself with his creation. But how far from the truth is this, who has personal, intimate and one on one dealings with all His elect children. He will be no man's rival. He will have His people love Him far above all other creatures, pleasures and material objects. He will and often causes His people to be despised, reproached, scorned and hated even by loved ones in order to bring it about as the case with Leah. Its in this way the Lord judges his people, and when He sees their power is gone He repents Himself for His servants. By this time the Christian has comes out of the wilderness leaning upon his or her beloved. Has it ever been seen or heard, that one has said "the best thing that happened to me was that my spouse hated and despised me, for it taught to love the Lord my God with all heart, my soul, with all my strength, mind etc" only the true Christian can possibly have such a testimony. This sermon enters again into those secret and mysterious dealings with God and His people and Dr Beeke masterly brings these precious gems to our attention.
