All promises are either Christ himself, or by Christ, or from Christ, or for Christ. All promises that ever were made to Gods People, they were either of Christ himself, when he was promised, or such as were promised for Christ. The promise of Christ himself is the first grand promise, that he should be made man, the promise in his own person. But whatsoever promise was made by the Prophets and Apostles, they were made by his Spirit, they were made for him, for his sake, and in him, and they were made to those that are in him too. For as Gods love is founded in him to those that are in him mystically as the Son of his love: so the promises are made, and given over to him of all good: he takes all the promises of good from God for us, and then they are made to us as we are in him.
He himself is the first promise that runs along in all the Scripture: and 1all the promises of Christ are yea: for whatsoever was promised of Christ before he came, it was fulfilled when he came: for all types were fulfilled in him, and all Prophecies, and all promises they were all accomplished in him.
