4. Christ’s desire and counsel were both set upon the salvation of his
people; the church of old desired for him good speed in his design, and the
church in these latter days, with all her heart desires the complete
fulfillment of his purpose. In Christ Jesus sanctified souls may appropriate
this verse as a promise; they shall have their desire, and their plans to
glorify their Master will succeed. We may have our own will when our will is
God’s will. This was always the case with our Lord, and yet he said, “not as I will, but as thou wilt.” What need for submission in our case; if it was necessary to him, how
much more for us!
