16. Let thy work appear unto thy servants. See how
he dwells upon that word servants. It is as far as the law can do, and Moses
goes to the full length permitted him; henceforth Jesus calls us not servants
but friends, and if we are wise we shall make full use of our wider liberty.
Moses asks for displays of divine power and providence conspicuously wrought,
that all the people might be cheered thereby. And thy glory unto their children. While their sons were growing up around them, they desired to see
some outshinings of the promised glory gleaming upon them. We are content with
the work if our children may but see the glory which will result from it: we
sow joyfully if they may reap.
