The Spirit who searcheth
the deep things of God, and teaches them to men. And what are the
deep things of God? They are eternal as God is. Eternal laws;
everlasting rules which cannot alter. That is the meaning of it all.
The Spirit of God is the Spirit which teaches men the laws of God;
the unchangeable rules and ordinances by which He governs all heaven
and earth, and men, and nations; the laws which come into force, not
once only, but always; the laws of God which are working round us
now, just as much as they were eighteen hundred years ago, just as
much as they were in Isaiah's time. Therefore it is, that I said
that these old Jewish prophecies, which were inspired by the Holy
Spirit, are coming true now, and will keep on coming true, time after
time, in their proper place and order, and whensoever the times are
fit for them, even to the end of the world.
But again, we read that the Spirit of God takes of the things of
Christ, and shows them unto us. And what are the things of Christ?
They must be eternal things, unchangeable things, for Christ is
unchangeable--Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever.
He is over all, God blessed for ever. To Him all power is given in
heaven and earth.
