14. The secret of the Lordis with them that fear him. Some read it “the friendship”: it
signifies familiar relationships, confidential intimacy. This is a great
secret. Worldly minds cannot guess what is intended by it, and even believers
cannot explain it in words, for it must be felt to be known. And he willshow them his covenant. Its antiquity, security, righteousness, fullness,
graciousness and excellence; and above all their own part in it will be sealed
to their souls by the witness of the Holy Spirit. Those who do not know the
meaning of this verse will never learn it from a commentary; let them look to
the cross, for the secret lies there.
