Observe here, 1. That there are wondrous things in God's law, which we
are all concerned, and should covet, to behold, not only strange
things, which are very surprising and unexpected, but excellent things,
which are to be highly esteemed and valued, and things which were long
hidden from the wise and prudent, but are now revealed unto babes. If
there were wonders in the law, much more in the gospel, where Christ is
all in all, whose name is Wonderful. Well may we, who are so nearly
interested, desire to behold these wondrous things, when the angels
themselves reach to look into them, 1 Pet. i. 12. Those that would see
the wondrous things of God's law and gospel must beg of him to open
their eyes and to give them an understanding. We are by nature blind to
the things of God, till his grace cause the scales to fall from our
eyes; and even those in whose hearts God has said, Let there be light,
have yet need to be further enlightened, and must still pray to God to
open their eyes yet more and more, that those who at first saw men as
trees walking may come to see all things clearly; and the more God
opens our eyes the more wonders we see in the word of God, which we saw
not before.
