HE calls unto us, saying, Behold me, look unto me, and be saved, Isa. 45. 2. What is it that we see in Christ? What do we behold in him? He asketh that Question concerning his Church, What will ye see in the ⟨p. 22⟩Shulamite? Whereto he answers, as it were the company of two armies, Cant. 6. 13. or the Two Churches of the Old and New Testament, in order and beauty. We may enquire, What shall we, what do we see in him? Do we see him as the Image of the invisible God, representing him, his Nature, Properties, and Will unto us? Do we see him as the Character, the express Image of the Person of the Father, so as that we have no need of Philip's Request, Lord, show us the Father, because having seen him, we have seen the Father also, John 14. 9.
