3. Indignation, or a fretting Dislike of God's Dispensations. That this was a part of the Disciples Trouble, appeareth from Christ's whole Discourse with them. The bodily Presence of Christ was comfortable to them upon a spiritual Account, as they enjoyed many a sweet Instruction by it; but they also looked for great things in the World, and were confounded with the Disappointment of their Expectations. The temporal Kingdom ran in their Minds, and therefore the News of his ignominious ⟨p. 238⟩Death was so afflictive to them: Our Lord taxeth them for this, but in a gentle condescending manner, that for want of Faith and Love they were so unsatisfied with God's Design, which was so expedient and useful for them and the World. Now this is the usual Ground of our Troubles, we set up an Anti-providence in our Hearts, and obtrude some Model and Scheme of our own upon God; which if he doth not comply with, we are troubled. But God's Way is more for our real Good, though our own Way suits better with our Fancy and vain Opinion.
