HEB. 1. 9. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity, therefore God, even thy God hath anointed thee with the Oil of gladness above thy Fellows.
HEB. 1. 9. Thou hast loved righteousnesse, and hated iniquity, therefore God, even thy God hath anointed thee with the Oyl of gladnesse above thy Fellows.
IN the beginning of this verse, the Apostle further amplifieth the righteousness of Christs Kingdom. It might be thought that the mention of the everlasting Throne of Christ had been sufficient to the Apostles purpose, which was to demonstrate Christs excellency above Angels. But to move the Hebrews the rather to submit themselves to Christs government, he doth not only give an hint of Christs righteous Sceptre, but also produceth all that the Prophet had foretold of Christs righteous government; and that both in regard of the cause thereof, which was his love of righteousness, and also in regard of the parts thereof, which are to love righteousness1 and hate iniquity; that so they whom he instructed herein might themselves follow after righteousness, and avoid and fly from all iniquity. It was a great matter that he had spoken of the Government of Christs Kingdom, therefore he returns to it again.
