First, A mindful love. Never had persons so mindful a friend a• we have in Christ: our names are ever before him, they are engraven upon the palms of his hands. He can as soon forget himself as forget us: he can as soon forget his heart as forget us. Exod. 28. 29. And Aaron shall bear the names of the Children in the breast-place of Judgement, upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place for a memorial before the Lord continually. Here you may see what a mindful friend Christ is, for these things were typical of Christ. Observe•, (1.) The place where the names were to be written; upon the breast-place of judgement upon his heart. (2.) The […] why they were written there: For a memorial before the Lord. He hath your names there that he might never forget you. (3.) Observe the •petuity of this; for a memorial before the Lord continually. And observe, these were to be carried by the high priest before God when he went into the high place. Christ hath not forgotten our names, now he is gone into the high place. You know how it was with the Butler when he was gone into Pharaohs presence, he forgot Joseph and all his afflictions.
