II. It was a Guide to them by Night, that they might not lose their Way: So Christ is our Guide, in the dark Night of Trouble, Temptation, and Desertion.
III. The Pillar of Fire was not only a Guide to them, but it also afforded them much Light, which made their Journey comfortable to them; Persons may have a sure Guide in a Night, and yet be in Darkness, or have but little or no Light: So Jesus Christ is not only a Guide to his People in their passing through the Night of Mortality, but also a Light; a Light to them that sit in Darkness, as well as a Guide for their Feet into the Way of Peace;1 he is upon this account the Comfort and Joy of God's Israel.
