What think ye of Christ? (The Pharisees) had put questions to (Jesus), one after another, out of the law; but he comes and puts a question to them upon the promise. Many are so full of the law, that they forget Christ, as if their duties would save them without his merit and grace. It concerns each of us seriously to ask ourselves, What think we of Christ? Some think not of him at all, he is not in all, not in any, of their thoughts; some think meanly, and some think hardly, of him; but to them that believe he is precious; and how precious then are the thoughts of him! While the daughters of Jerusalem think no more of Christ than of another beloved the spouse thinks of him as the Chief of ten thousands. Many can so readily affirm the truth, that they think they have knowledge enough to be proud of, who, when they are called to confirm the truth, and to vindicate and defend it, show they have ignorance enough to be ashamed of.~~Matthew Henry ~~~~~~~ Paul said in the last days, many would be ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth (II Tim. 3:7). Its because they are looking for it. And the Truth aint an it--Hes a Who (Jesus--see John 14:6, key phrase: THE Truth).--(Doowop)
