The blessing and power
of the Lord accompanied David’s anointing in some manner—just how,
we may not understand—enabling him to progress in knowledge,
etc., and fitting and preparing him for the duties of the
office to which he had been anointed. May we not consider as an
antitype to this, the anointing which comes upon the Church from the
time of her acceptance with the Lord? Ours is not a physical
anointing, nor are the blessings conferred of a temporal character;
it is as New Creatures that we grow in grace and knowledge and love,
and as New Creatures that, by and by, we shall be perfected in the
First Resurrection and come to the Throne with our Lord and Master
as our Head. |
