The great interpreter and elucidation of all God’s purposes is our Lord Jesus Christ, and it is according as we apprehend, know and have common feeling with Him that we are able to comprehend what the counsels and ways of God are tending towards, for God will glorify Him and set Him forth in full manifestation in all the excellencies which are now partially and feebly apprehended by us, but in proportion as it is apprehended are we able to comprehend His ways and works and to be practically in common feeling — in fellowship —with Him. This is a partaking of His mind, as it were, an understanding and responding to it, and a sharing of His judgment of things.
