Moses could give the Law at Horeb—broken in the golden calf; Elias could preach to bring back Israel apostate under the calves, but he returns, with his own heart broken, to Horeb again. Nothing but the resurrection of Christ can bring in other things for true and lasting blessing. Hearing is good, when the hearing is of grace and power—righteousness effectual, when it is accompanied with the judgment of evil, the putting away of sin by judgment.
