Christs temptation and transfiguration practically explained and improved in several sermons /

1. Observe Christs tender care over his Disciples, in their faintings and discouragements.

1. That he comforteth and reviveth his Disciples. Christ alone can help us, and confirm us against our fears: the disciples did not stir, but lay prostrate upon their faces, till he came and touched them, and said, arise, be not afraid. In all the troubles and perplexities of his People, he will be owned as the causer and curer of them, Hos. 6. 1. Come let us return unto the Lord, for he hath torn, and he will heal us, he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. So Job 5. 18. He maketh sore and bindeth up, he woundeth and his hands make whole. As all our troubles and perplexities are from his hands, so must the healing be. If he make the wound, all the World cannot find a plaster to heal it; and no wound given by himself is above his own Cure; and he woundeth not as an Enemy, but as a Chirurgeon; not with a Sword, but a Lancet. All other means are blasted till we come to him.

All other means are blasted till we come to him.
